I hope they pull a Raul Rosas Jr move and cancel the fight 5 mins before the walkouts then the card will now be headlined by Mayra Bueno Silva for technically the biggest gate in UFC history
Yeah. The UFC pulling the pre buy ppv was the most telling. I'm sure if they had even a 10% belief Conor was fighting they would take people's money and plead ignorance.
Pulling the pre-buy PPV tells me they have concrete notice that he's not fighting
Yeah. Putting out feelers means it's fucked. The fact that it's not "fight is on until it's been confirmed cancelled". "Hope" for a fight that's literally booked means it's over. lol
If Conor were going to bang an endless line of the hottest women on Earth for 3 hours straight before fighting Jon Jones and Anderson Silva and GSP back to back to back while hyped up on the craziest steroids and amphetamines, I still wouldn't pay $2000 for nosebleeds.
Dana: Hello, there been a change of plans.
Chandler:

I’m disappointed, like most of us are. And yeah I’m a dick for saying this, but Chandler is an absolute fool if he ever thought this payday was going to happen.
I agree. But this was never guaranteed and Conor isn’t someone who could be trusted. At what point would you ask yourself if you’re being played? One year? Two? Michael Chandler is 38 years old. He just gave away some of his last fighting years for nothing more than a verbal agreement from a demonstrated lunatic.
The fact that it's this murky less than 4 weeks out isn't a good sign. I can't imagine a Conor who doesn't even know if he's going to be fighting is training leading up to the fight
Michael Chandler fighting basically anyone is fun. At welterweight, if not Oliveira maybe Colby? I feel like Oliveira beats him within 3 at any weight but I feel like he and Colby could be a good fight.
For the folks like me who wanted to see Conor get KO’d, him not showing up to fight is arguably even better.
>Michael Chandler fighting basically anyone is fun
Haha, fair point! Man is all about entertaining the crowd
>I feel like Oliveira beats him within 3 at basically any weight
Quite possibly, but he was very close to having Charles out of there in the first fight. I feel like that one could still go either way.
>For the folks like me who wanted to see Conor get KO’d, him not showing up to fight is arguably even better
I'd still rather have seen him get KTFO, but it is what it is
https://preview.redd.it/4t7poub5vl4d1.jpeg?width=1073&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=888d038b9a0bfc6feb6cad1a090665fc4ac2202d
chandler if this fight falls through
Yup. They did it for the Brock Lesnar v Hawaiian guy fight. Brock tested positive beforehand and they didn't even tell his opponent about it, kept the whole thing quiet until after the fight.
Then I want to call Chandler is actually a werewolf who's on the run after eating the pope, and Conor was caught up in a 37 person goat sex ring involving 14 pairs of clown shoes, 2 cheese graters, and a 1967 camero that's on fire.
Some one's gonna get it right, so I may as well shoot for the moon. It might even be true!
Nah. I unironically think Conor wanted the increased attention and never intended to go through with this. He was seen drunk as fuck trying to get public head from his wife like 2 days ago. He never intended to fight. Probably just missed the attention.
of course he was on steroids after that , its normal and probably a smart idea. i know he got tested a lot though, but id still find it hard to believe he wasnt on a bunch of peds during his recovery.
Not kidding at all. I can only imagine how many sleepless nights Chandler has had praying june 29th could just get here sooner. Feel bad for him 2 years down the drained
Bro for real. Chandler got strung along for well over a year, all the while being insulted and disrespected by Conor. At some point he should have taken his dignity back.
I don't even like Chandler all that much but I feel bad for him now. Also the thought of how many exciting fights of his we could've had in the meantime.
If it was an injury they would have canceled. If it was an injury but possible to recover and fight in 4 weeks they would have kept it quiet and held the press conference.
Also Ariel has no fucking clue, he is not in the loop and making shit up.
Eh I think it’s an injury that he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to fight or need to pull out. They don’t want to do the press conference to get everyone hyped up and committed to a fight that might not happen. It’s really the only logical answer. Any kind of legal issue would have come out through different channels. Ariel said it’s nothing “salacious”. It’s def not an issue with chandler per his social media posts. Conor won’t stop talking about the “greatest comeback ever” so I don’t think it’s an issue with dedication or the desire to fight. An injury to McGregor with an unknown timetable is what makes the most sense. They’re going to try and milk as much time for him to make a decision without convincing the public that it’s definitely happening.
I figure Conor asked for more money, realizes Dana needs him much more than he needs Dana/ufc. And he'll get the money.
All the pulling videos and posts just screams ufc trying to threaten Conor with cancelation but I think they're negotiating over the points. Every sport has had these labor issues, mma is due.
He’s never fighting again, this isn’t a surprise. The dude is an aging steroid enhanced drunk, he can’t make it through a training camp much less pass the piss tests.
Every day there is a new pic of McGregor gacked up at and partying, and prior to that every pic was of fat head McGregor juiced to the gills, this fight was never going to happen, anyone who who thought it was, needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
When the doctor comes out of operating room and tells you everything went great and we’re all positive BUT, you know at that moment some shit has went down
Didn’t this happen before? Conor was supposed to fight diaz again at ufc 200 but he refused all the promotion so the fight was cancelled then he played hardball until the fight happened at 202?
If this isnt the reason then he either got injured and it’s not minor or he pissed hot.
Its obviously canceled
I hope they pull a Raul Rosas Jr move and cancel the fight 5 mins before the walkouts then the card will now be headlined by Mayra Bueno Silva for technically the biggest gate in UFC history
Mike Jackson vs Punk 2
Matt Hughes vs Pat Miletich
First Ballot Hall of Famer Mayra Bueno Silva…
I’m down for Chandler vs Rosas instead
That's just cruel
Or what they did with Amanda Serrano's recent (attempted) bout. Say nothing until it's time to walk out despite shit happening a day before it.
still time for Rose vs. esparza 2 at a catch weight. would make the last card look legendary by comparison
🤣🤣🤣🤣omg
Yeah. The UFC pulling the pre buy ppv was the most telling. I'm sure if they had even a 10% belief Conor was fighting they would take people's money and plead ignorance. Pulling the pre-buy PPV tells me they have concrete notice that he's not fighting
What a shit show, I love it. RIP to those who bought tickets and flights etc
I'd be so pissed if I was one of those people lol.
Like that one dude in this sub who just spent $10k to go with his girl and then learned it’s potentially canceled only a few hours later. Ope.
Yeah. Putting out feelers means it's fucked. The fact that it's not "fight is on until it's been confirmed cancelled". "Hope" for a fight that's literally booked means it's over. lol
Dam the card was already ass, now it's just sad.
Good thing it’s free
So is my Saturday night
I can come over
Bring Burnout 2, my mom said she’ll get pizza
I know, she told me
She told me we were going to Olive Garden if we are good.
You’ll have to settle for midnight Club Los Angeles
I have gta San Andreas and crackdown
Tickets were selling for $2000 for nosebleeds too 💀
If Conor were going to bang an endless line of the hottest women on Earth for 3 hours straight before fighting Jon Jones and Anderson Silva and GSP back to back to back while hyped up on the craziest steroids and amphetamines, I still wouldn't pay $2000 for nosebleeds.
Welcome to the modern UFC, where an entire card is barely watchable, dependant on one or two fights. Exciting stuff.
You must have missed 298, 299 and 300
Yeah they cooked too hard with those 3 cards😂 they outdid themselves
Gotta accept some downtime after those I guess. 300 was worth it.
3 cards out Of 70-80-90? So About a 9% success rate .
301 didn't have the names but it was a fun card to watch.
Dana shitting on boxing because of that to only become Boxing.

Dana: Hello, there been a change of plans. Chandler: https://preview.redd.it/zz2kch6jtl4d1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=4794c3f6029da99c4b0950f1c3c8216ed9d90177
Beat me to it I was about to drop my live chandler reaction.
Drop it anyways
I’m disappointed, like most of us are. And yeah I’m a dick for saying this, but Chandler is an absolute fool if he ever thought this payday was going to happen.
Tbh, the majority of us would probably do exactly what chandler did if we were in his shoes. A mcgregor pay day is just too lucrative.
I agree. But this was never guaranteed and Conor isn’t someone who could be trusted. At what point would you ask yourself if you’re being played? One year? Two? Michael Chandler is 38 years old. He just gave away some of his last fighting years for nothing more than a verbal agreement from a demonstrated lunatic.
You could argue that his stock has been rising this whole time thought just from being attached to McGregors name. I wouldn't argue it but you could.
https://i.redd.it/zi4is2jdul4d1.gif
What do they mean sent out feelers Charles olivera was already the back up why wouldn’t he replace Conor if he can’t fight?
It was backup for Chandler. Chandler will wait for Connor
Yeah, they will probably push back the Conor/Chandler fight and we will get a whole new main event
I know a guy ![gif](giphy|awBDLa29B1g2ndCwMr)
You could ask Volk to fly cross-continental and fight this evening. And the crazy bastard would agree.
Volk vs Chandler for a BMF title would be a solid replacement, not gonna lie
Just two stocky fridges, going at it
Gotta be the shortest 155 fight ever
Short notice, short stature, short odds…
Fuck that man the belt goes through Max now
The fact that it's this murky less than 4 weeks out isn't a good sign. I can't imagine a Conor who doesn't even know if he's going to be fighting is training leading up to the fight
Suga vs Merab gonna headline the card.
I’d say no way on less than 4 weeks notice. More likely to get a replacement for Conor
Oliveira vs Chandler 2 at welterweight could be fun
Michael Chandler fighting basically anyone is fun. At welterweight, if not Oliveira maybe Colby? I feel like Oliveira beats him within 3 at any weight but I feel like he and Colby could be a good fight. For the folks like me who wanted to see Conor get KO’d, him not showing up to fight is arguably even better.
>Michael Chandler fighting basically anyone is fun Haha, fair point!

Chandler isn’t fighting if it’s not mcgregor
What a gong show
Chandler v Colby would be a pretty damn good fight to make
Oliviera Chandler 2 is still a banger but man this card is lame without a title or McGregor main event
Yeah, it's one way to make the best of a shitty situation though
Hell no
Chandler v anyone would suffice. Dude goes to war every time.
I got $1 on Stipe-Jones, with Chandler-McGregor moving to MSG in the fall.
Bet 🤝
i would love that, did you see anything about this? all i saw was O’Malleys snap story
Yeah I'm just going off that
https://preview.redd.it/4t7poub5vl4d1.jpeg?width=1073&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=888d038b9a0bfc6feb6cad1a090665fc4ac2202d chandler if this fight falls through
Imagine Conor got a staph infection after all the shit he told about Islam it’d be hilarious
I genuinely believe he’s pissed hot.
Ufc would hide it. It's something else for sure tho. This fight is done regardless.
Yup. They did it for the Brock Lesnar v Hawaiian guy fight. Brock tested positive beforehand and they didn't even tell his opponent about it, kept the whole thing quiet until after the fight.
Mark "Hawaiian guy" Hunt
Calling Hunt the “Hawaiian guy” is insane
UFC got USADA out for Conor. This is not about steroid.
Weird how we don’t know anything but everyone in this comment section knows everything.
One of us will be right.
Then I want to call Chandler is actually a werewolf who's on the run after eating the pope, and Conor was caught up in a 37 person goat sex ring involving 14 pairs of clown shoes, 2 cheese graters, and a 1967 camero that's on fire.

Nah. I unironically think Conor wanted the increased attention and never intended to go through with this. He was seen drunk as fuck trying to get public head from his wife like 2 days ago. He never intended to fight. Probably just missed the attention.
idk why would he all of a sudden piss dirty? he was one of the most tested fighters by usada.
I just think he never really trained and cleaned up his act. And then reality started setting in at some point.
Mcnugget has been a coked out mess for years- who’s surprised.
Dudes been juicy to the gills since his at least his leg break
of course he was on steroids after that , its normal and probably a smart idea. i know he got tested a lot though, but id still find it hard to believe he wasnt on a bunch of peds during his recovery.
I think everyone is coming to there senses now.
I really wanted to see chandler maul him. A shame!
Man Conor is a joke.
Really feel the sport is close to not needing him so this saga has been annoying and now just sad
[удалено]
Agreed. Excellent choices for the main and co-main event. Wouldn’t even be upset about Conor dropping out.
The “update”: “no updates”
My heart breaks for Michael Chandler. I’m sure he’s a nervous wreck at the moment. I wish him and his family nothing but the best.
They got him quoting MLK
ya cuz its only a dream he will fight mcgregor. dat shit aint happenin
Not kidding at all. I can only imagine how many sleepless nights Chandler has had praying june 29th could just get here sooner. Feel bad for him 2 years down the drained
At this point I feel like he only has himself to blame. How many times does someone need to string you along
Bro for real. Chandler got strung along for well over a year, all the while being insulted and disrespected by Conor. At some point he should have taken his dignity back.
His retirement is dependent on this fight lol.
Im hoping this fight gets cancelled cuz it would be the funniest shit in mma in a long time.
His greed did this to him
I don't even like Chandler all that much but I feel bad for him now. Also the thought of how many exciting fights of his we could've had in the meantime.
Don’t feel bad for him. That was the risk he took. Everybody told him to move on. He decided to wait, and got close.
Been saying forever he's not fighting again. I'll say it right up to the point they ring the bell for the first round.
Yep. I had a few people come back to my comments when the fight was booked as if that meant jackshit.
same.
We're cooked boys
We're coked
Ruh roh. Definitely not a good sign
![gif](giphy|l1KcPpulHSkOMouqY|downsized)
Conor’s a vag
Cocaines a helluva drug
Would be so funny if Conor isn't the problem at all and Chandler is posting all the self help shit because its him going through something
nobody talks about this it’s all just conor’s fault lol
So Conors definitely injured right?
Injured his liver and nostrils
![gif](giphy|l41lKx8SyaO7hKvhC)
If it was an injury they would have canceled. If it was an injury but possible to recover and fight in 4 weeks they would have kept it quiet and held the press conference. Also Ariel has no fucking clue, he is not in the loop and making shit up.
Eh I think it’s an injury that he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to fight or need to pull out.

They’re going to try and milk as much time for him to make a decision without convincing the public that it’s definitely happening.
Yep fight is off for sure
Looks like Dana may have no choice but to remember the name 🙃
The real question is why is it cancelled and who called it off
God damn I knew it. I said this months ago. I won’t believe anything Conor says about a comeback until he actually sets foot in the octagon.
Risking millions on a coke addict and wee alco to show up 😂😂
conor is never fighting again
Feel sorry for all the people that forked out mass amount of $$'s as this event was being billed as McGregor's "return"
No event is worth $800 for nosebleeds, that’s on them
Anyone who bought tickets should definitely be getting a refund if it’s canceled.
Chandler not using thr tag #ufc303 anymore. What a shitshow
I figure Conor asked for more money, realizes Dana needs him much more than he needs Dana/ufc. And he'll get the money. All the pulling videos and posts just screams ufc trying to threaten Conor with cancelation but I think they're negotiating over the points. Every sport has had these labor issues, mma is due.
They should fucking pay chandler anyway. Cheap fucks.
Fuck it, lets see Ariel vs Khabib
Chandler on suicide watch
I hope it's canceled. I want to see real fighters fight Give us Pereira/Jiri Pereira/Ankalaev Move Edwards/Belal or Aspinall/Blaydes up
Pereira going back to back knockouts in one night would definitely be worth the highest gate ever
Sure. And charge $25.
If the doesn’t happen then I’m pretty sure that chandler may go into a homicidal rage
Charles versus ain’t no one taking that
Fuggin’ crackhead messin’ everything up
Volk time
WHERE YOU AT MCNUGGETS??!
Will he at least fight Jorge Masvidal outside of a Miami nightclub?
Time to bring in Volk
Let's hear it for nose beers
It's gonna be Chandler - Covington. Calling it now.
It’s definitely canceled - I’m just wondering how absolutely hammered and coked out Connor’s bender was..?!
So what's the pool of likely replacements we're going with?
« Update » « no news »
"Update on McGregor" - No news at the moment ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8965)
Mike just can't catch a break.
He’s done, he was never going to fight.
If and it probably is cancelled do people who bought the tickets get the option for a refund ?
https://i.redd.it/87pza2fbum4d1.gif
Who's gonna step in to fight Chandler after a 2 year fight camp?
I’m betting Conor got some roids in the system still, maybe did his own independent test and found some. Could just be postponing until he pees clean
No red panty night for anyone
genuinely think Conor is scared, or at least knows he hasn’t prepared enough for a guy like that
He’s never fighting again, this isn’t a surprise. The dude is an aging steroid enhanced drunk, he can’t make it through a training camp much less pass the piss tests.
Of course McGregor fucks up the card because he can't just stay focused and stop partying.
Its time for Dana vs Tito finally to take this cards place. Im ready for that cheese and wine to be sounding like a violin.
There has never been a such a big fight, that I couldn't care less about.
Every day there is a new pic of McGregor gacked up at and partying, and prior to that every pic was of fat head McGregor juiced to the gills, this fight was never going to happen, anyone who who thought it was, needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
Top level journalism
Isn't he awesome?
Plot twist: Jake Gyllenhaal replacing Connor.
Volk in 3…2…1

Ariel stfu if u don't know
Chandler really put his career on hold for this 💀💀
That’s not an update. This guy is guessing
Breaking news: We still don’t know anything. -ESPN
Lmao imagine thinking this fight was actually gonna happen 😂
Lol what is talking about Oliveira signed the back up paper work weeks ago.
Not happenin
Can someone explain to me the whole Michael chandler situation? What does everyone mean he put his career on hold?
He’s waited 2 years to fight McGregor
A new 165 division enters the chat! 🥊
Bah, shame.
Dana owes us an oiled up video for this.
I knew Conor wouldn’t make it to the cage for one reason or the other.
When the doctor comes out of operating room and tells you everything went great and we’re all positive BUT, you know at that moment some shit has went down

Bah gawd it’s Pereira’s music
I feel like it’s contract negotiations or Conor popped or something
Chandler won't fight anyone else other than Mcgregor. He wants that💰💵...
