Conor McGregor fight cancelled as reason given for UFC 303 bout postponement

After more than a week and a half of speculation, Dana White finally confirmed in the early hours of Friday morning that the UFC 303 main event has been cancelled due to an injury suffered by McGregor.

The fight has been in doubt ever since a press conference to promote it, which was due to take place at the 3Arena in Dublin, was cancelled hours before it was due to start on June 3. McGregor remained silent on rumours of his injury but took to social media on Wednesday to post an old video which he quickly deleted. "I think the more resistance you train with, the less movement and the more injury.

"A band balances itself. You might be going a little bit lighter, but the positions you wouldn't be if everyone was tense. Everyone was trying to win every round." “He did it in the shortest amount of time, he did in 736 days and seven fights. He finished seven of nine wins by knockout which is a 78 per cent finish rate, and won 10 of his last 11 fights. He is facing former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka who has an unbelievable 23 first round wins.”
