The UFC remains silent regarding McGregor vs. Chandler.
Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler is nearing its two-week countdown mark. Fans have seen the UFC 303 main event enter limbo as rumors swirl about whether it will take place.
Given the circumstances, here are five realistic options the UFC could adjust to so that the card can still go off on June 29.Both Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka won impressively in their last outings. Despite it being a quick turnaround, neither fighter took substantial damage or seemed like they wanted to take time off.
If the UFC were to go this route, it would be a crazy turn of events, especially considering Jon Jones, who has not fought since March 2023, is finally off the mend after injuring his pectoral muscle. At press time, the UFC has yet to indicate when his fight with Stipe Miocic will happen, but given that Jones’ recovery timetable was six months to a year, that puts the timetable at UFC 309 or UFC 310.
Whether the fight happens in Perth on Aug. 17 or Las Vegas on June 29, the middleweight title fight between Dricus du Plessis and Israel Adesanya must happen. It is arguably the biggest grudge match since the Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen saga in 2010 and 2012. Both have said racial undertones to one another, downplayed injuries and want what the other person has: bragging rights for the best fighter with African heritage.
