The UFC has been looking at Holloway as a replacement for McGregor

Ariel Helwani, a well-known journalist and insider, reported that the UFC was planning to replace Conor McGregor in the fight with Michael Chandler with the promotion's former featherweight champion and BMF belt holder Max Holoway. That said, Helwani does not reveal why that replacement did not take place.

The bout between McGregor and Chandler was supposed to take place on June 29, headlining UFC 303. However, it was reported yesterday that the star Irishman had health issues, so he withdrew from the fight. As a result, that confrontation was canceled, and the 303 event will be headlined by Pereira's fight with Prochazka.
