The fighters were scheduled to fight on June 29 in the main event of UFC 303 in Las Vegas, USA, but the Irishman withdrew due to a fractured pinky toe.
"The injury is a nuisance. It hurts a lot. I'm not going to lie to you. It really, really hurts. Probably even more painful than when I broke my leg. And I'll tell you why. Because the foot is at least bandaged, and I had no access to it. And the foot is always open," McGregor told Severe MMA.
