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.
