Conor McGregor<\/strong><\/a> will no longer fight Michael Chandler<\/strong> in their originally scheduled match. UFC president Dana White confirmed the news on Thursday, June 13, citing an injury as the reason why the Road House<\/em> <\/a>star, 35, had to withdraw. It\u2019s still unclear what Conor\u2019s injury is.<\/p>\n

The UFC 303 main event was scheduled to take place on June 29. Instead, a lightweight match will take place between Alex Pereira and Jiri Proch\u00e1zka. A new date for Conor<\/a> and Michael to fight has not been announced at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Conor\u2019s last fight was in 2021 at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. He lost the match after breaking his tibia in the first round.<\/p>\n

Over the past several weeks, rumors swirled about Conor and Michael\u2019s fight, with fans speculating whether or not it was going to happen.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a press conference with the two fighters was canceled because of \u201cobstacles\u201d out of their \u201ccontrol,\u201d Conor tweeted on June 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn consultation with the UFC, today\u2019s press conference was cancelled due to a series of obstacles outside of our control,\u201d he wrote via X. \u201cI apologize to my Irish fans, and fans around the world, for the inconvenience and appreciate all your passion and support. I can\u2019t wait to put on the greatest all-time show in the Octagon.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the sport, Conor has been busy with various ventures. In March, his film Road House<\/em><\/a> premiered, starring Jake Gyllenhaal<\/strong><\/a>. The action flick was a remake of the original 1989 Patrick Swayze<\/strong>-led movie. In the 2024 film, Conor played Knox, an aggressive enforcer who hunts down Jake\u2019s character, Dalton.<\/p>\n

That month, Conor spoked with TheMacLife<\/a> about the movie and how he approached the combative scenes.<\/p>\n
