UFC 303: Conor McGregor Sets Countdown as Fight Approaches
Grudge Match to Headline International Fight Week
By Damon Martin - April 14, 2024
UFC 303 is set to be headlined by a highly anticipated grudge match between former two-division champion Conor McGregor and his The Ultimate Fighter 31 coaching rival, Michael Chandler.
McGregor, who has not fought since losing to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon on July 29 at UFC 303, which will headline International Fight Week in Las Vegas.
The fight with Chandler has been in the works for months, and both fighters have been trading barbs in the media. McGregor has vowed to knock Chandler out, while Chandler has said he will prove that McGregor is "nothing but hype."
The stakes are high for both fighters. McGregor is looking to re-establish himself as one of the top fighters in the UFC, while Chandler is looking to make a statement and potentially earn a title shot.
UFC President Dana White has said that he believes this fight is "the biggest fight of the year." And with McGregor's star power and Chandler's exciting fighting style, it's hard to argue.
The countdown to UFC 303 is on, and the anticipation for this grudge match is building. With just five more nights until the fight, it's sure to be a memorable event.
