Last Monday, Conor McGregor canceled a UFC 303 press conference scheduled to take place at the 3Arena in Dublin in front of a packed house. This change of plans, added to the suspension of content related to UFC 303 on YouTube and ESPN led to a series of rumors about of the return of ‘The Notorious’.
McGregor, later went online to apologize to those affected from the no-show in his hometown but did not comment on a possible return to action in the octagon. Despite this institutional silence, several fighters such as Volkanovski and Kayla Harrison have offered to occupy the star billing of the forthcoming event, while several unofficial sources claim that the Dubliner is injured and a shadow of doubt hangs over the 35-year-old returning to fight.
