The build-up to UFC 303 and the return of Conor McGregor was never going to be a straight forward run.
After months of debate as to whether the fight would finally come together, not even the official announcement has put fight fans at peace.
This hasn’t been helped by clips of McGregor seemingly partying during his training camp, leading to questions of whether he will even make it to the fight.
The biggest concern was when on the day it was set to take place, the press conference in Dublin was postponed without any reason being given.
McGregor put out the following statement but didn’t address many of the concerns that fans had about whether “The Notorious” was withdrawing from the fight.

His opponent for June 29 in Las Vegas, Michael Chandler, was reportedly told the day before the press conference that it wouldn’t be going ahead in order to avoid him flying over to Ireland.
Chandler’s following post on social media also had fans speculating as to whether some unfortunate news was on the way.
