No Clear Reason For Cancellation Of McGregor Vs Chandler Press Conference

The duel of Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler is doubtful by UFC fans (Instagram/@thenotoriousmma).

JAKARTA - Conor McGregor will return to the octagon to face Michael Chandler on June 29, 2024 in Las Vegas.

Ahead of the duel, the UFC has already drawn up a plan to hold a press conference on Tuesday, May 4, 2024, in Dublin, Ireland. However, on the day of the 5am event, the UFC canceled the agenda.

The UFC has apologized to fans. They promised to give new dates and times as soon as possible.

There was a rumor that the cancellation issue occurred because McGregor was caught on camera drunk the night before. In fact, he has also been seen regularly participating in the nightlife in recent weeks.

McGregor's video footage of drinking alcohol while dancing on social media was also widely discussed.

The rumors then made fans pessimistic that the McGregor vs Chandler duel could be implemented.

"Conor vs Chandler will never happen."

"The fight will be canceled."

"I know it's too good to be true."

Those are some fan comments that are unsure that McGregor vs Chandler's fight date was held on time.

Shortly after speculation over the cancellation of the growing press conference, Conor McGregor finally opened his voice. However, he could not explain in detail and simply said there were obstacles that could not be overcome.

"After consulting with the UFC, today's press conference was canceled due to a series of obstacles beyond our control."

"I apologize to my fans in Ireland and around the world for the inconvenience. I appreciate all your passion and support."

"I can't wait to show the greatest show of all time in the octagon," Conor McGregor said.

McGregor's explanation still couldn't make the inconvenience of fans disappear. Question mark still appears and doubts the duel still surfaces.

Apart from that, McGregor's return to the octagon has certainly been awaited by UFC lovers. He has not fought again since losing to Dustin Poirier three years ago.
