Volkanovski confirmed he wanted to replace McGregor at UFC 303

Dmitriy Kel June 26, 2024, 5 p.m.

Former UFC featherweight champion Aleksander Volkanovski revealed that he was ready to take the fight at UFC 303, which takes place June 29 in Las Vegas, on short notice.

Recall that Conor McGregor was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 303, but the star Irishman withdrew due to a fractured pinky toe.

"I told them, 'Hey, if you need someone for the main event fight, you know who to go to.' I raised my hand, I was ready. Some people think I'm crazy, but I went back to training, so why not. I expressed my desire to fight.

But I didn't get the fight, the UFC guys didn't call me back. They said they would contact me when the time was right. They told me to rest some more. I reminded them about me every day. Apparently they decided to keep me safe from myself. And I respect them for that," Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel.
