Seems Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler is still very much on … The Notorious just showed off a highlight package of his recent grueling training sessions — indicating the massive UFC 303 tilt will go on as scheduled.
Of course, there had been some worry the June 29 main event might get scrapped … after a press conference set for Monday in Ireland was canceled at the last minute without much explanation.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
McGregor did issue a statement following the surprise call-off, expressing remorse for the situation — however, his short apology lacked details … causing many to wonder if his comeback attempt had been put on pause.
In consultation with the UFC, todays press conference was cancelled due to a series of obstacles outside of our control. I apologize to my Irish fans, and fans around the world, for the inconvenience and appreciate all your passion and support. I can’t wait to put on the greatest…

But, it appears McGregor put all those qualms to bed late Thursday night … when he posted a bunch of videos of him inside the Octagon looking as ready as ever for a match.
In the clips, McGregor can be seen toying with his sparring partners … before landing some huge blows. He captioned it all with a GOAT emoji as well as some praying hands.

The 35-year-old Irishman hasn’t fought in the UFC since July 2021 … when he gruesomely broke his leg in a match vs. Dustin Poirier. He formally agreed to the return fight with Chandler back in the spring.
