The UFC has canceled the press conference in Dublin for the highly anticipated fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, which was scheduled for UFC 303. Michael Chandler was informed of the postponement yesterday morning. Despite the cancellation, the fight, set for June 29th, is still on as of now. Speculation has arisen regarding potential replacements, with Max Holloway being a prominent candidate to face Chandler if McGregor withdraws. Ariel Helwani clarified that there is no dramatic reason behind the postponement, and the UFC has sent out feelers to other fighters as a precaution. Dana White and ESPN have remained silent, and Chandler has been posting self-help quotes on Instagram.

- UFC 303 no longer being advertised on PPV - UFC have privated the Conor McGregor free fight videos posted a few days ago - Conor McGregor and Dana White have been silent - Michael Chandler is posting self help quotes on Instagram https://t.co/FvAHY0YF5w
day 2 -no comment from DW -Conor’s tweet vague AF -no comment from MC (just an MLK quote) -allegedly Conor hasn’t failed a drug test/gone on a bender per his publicist Helwani. -no new date for presser -no evidence of injury -Holding UFC up for $ only thing that makes sense.

My dream situation for the @ufc before #UFCLouisville. #UFC303 gets switched to Chandler vs Holloway for BMF title, another big fight added. Topuria vs Ortega #UFCSpain. Islam vs Arman as soon as possible. Catchweight Topuria vs Islam. Khabib vs McGregor II 160 division https://t.co/gzQx0uzFVh

DC had some thoughts on the canceled press conference for #UFC303: “The reason this is off is because Conor McGregor called it off. Michael Chandler would drag himself there with no legs to get to that presser. 😭 (via. Good Guy/Bad Guy) #UFC #MMA 🔹 https://t.co/CK3f85gPEW
Max Holloway vs Michael Chandler for the BMF Title for #UFC303? https://t.co/btgltd13g9
Here’s my wacky #UFC303 theory. Maybe Conor McGregor hurt himself. Chandler still fights someone for a new 160 weight division title. Khabib Nurmagomedov comes back because he needs some money. McGregor vs Khabib II https://t.co/4mVlArEkip
Imagine a world where we end up with Chandler x Holloway for the BMF title at UFC 303…
Chael: I believe Conor is gonna be opposite Michael Chandler, I'm very confident in telling you that. However, if he's not, Michael Chandler vs. Max Holloway for the BMF is the fight to book. Full podcast here: https://t.co/76ET4BoB7E https://t.co/2NXA73paut
Wild guess: Conor McGregor is hurt and has pulled out of UFC 303 so the UFC is trying to book Michael Chandler vs. Max Holloway for the BMF title. Dana White said they’re working on a BMF fight now.

Also @arielhelwani confirms that @MikeChandlerMMA was NOT in Dublin today or yesterday. Stated that Michael Chander was on his way to the airport in Nashville found out the Press Conference was cancelled and then flew to Florida to train #UFC303 #TheMMAHour
Who would Chandler fight if the McGregor fight got cancelled. I don't think it will at all, just curious of what fighter that could headline a PPV with him?
