There has been a lot of speculation regarding the highly anticipated return of UFC superstar Conor McGregor after the last-minute cancellation to Monday’s UFC 303 press conference in Dublin.
According to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, the promotion is currently looking for a backup for McGregor.
“No news at the moment. The hope is still that the fight is on. There is positivity, I’d say. But they have sent out feelers to see who might be able to fill in, either as a replacement or an entirely new fight at the top of the bill. Still developing, and still some time,” Helwani wrote on social media.
