Well-known journalist and UFC insider Ariel Helwani spoke out about the fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. According to Helwani, Chandler will not be able to fight and McGregor is looking for a new opponent.
"Late last week, the anxiety surrounding the UFC 303 main event fight seemed to begin to subside. Chandler gave interviews saying he was fine, and the UFC began promoting the fight again on ABC Fight Night. And then this morning, multiple sources reported that ground is being probed again about a replacement for the fight on June 29. In short, there seems to be pessimism once again regarding the status of the UFC 303 main event fight. In fact, there seems to be even more pessimism now than there was last week when they canceled the press conference at the last minute. Is it reinsurance? Legalities? Emergency substitution mode? We'll see," Helwani wrote on his social media X page.
