Conor McGregor’s Cryptic Instagram Post Sparks Speculation About UFC 303 Comeback Fight
In a recent cryptic post on his Instagram, UFC star Conor McGregor has left fans speculating about the status of his highly anticipated comeback fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
Rumors about the UFC 303 main event being in jeopardy began to surface when McGregor cancelled all of his media obligations, including a press conference in his hometown of Dublin. Despite the lack of a clear reason for the postponement, rumors of a possible injury to the Irish star started to circulate.
Adding fuel to the fire, both McGregor and the promotion remained tight-lipped about the situation and offered no explanation for the cancellation. However, a recent Instagram post from McGregor has given fans a glimmer of hope.
The post shows McGregor sitting in a doctor’s office with a big smile on his face, accompanied by a flexing emoji. While this may raise concerns about a potential injury, the message seems to convey that McGregor is still eager and ready to compete at UFC 303.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: While there is still some uncertainty surrounding the status of the fight, reports from sources close to the situation suggest that there is still “great optimism” that the event will go ahead as planned.
Just last week, it was reported that the UFC was reaching out to other potential opponents in case the McGregor vs. Chandler fight fell through. However, with McGregor’s latest Instagram post, it seems as though all systems are a go.
In the midst of all the speculation, former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski even offered to step in on short notice to “save the day.” And UFC analyst Chael Sonnen proposed an intriguing “BMF” title fight between Max Holloway and Michael Chandler if McGregor was unable to compete.
All things considered, the UFC 303 main event between McGregor and Chandler is still on track for June 29. Fans can rest assured that they may still witness the highly anticipated return of “The Notorious” one.
