Conor McGregor retires if he doesn’t fight at UFC 303

Chael Sonnen thinks if Conor McGregor doesn’t fight at UFC 303, he won’t fight at all.

Rumors are swirling that McGregor’s (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) rematch against Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) on June 29 at T-Mobile Arena is in jeopardy due to a potential McGregor injury. side.

If the rumors are indeed true and McGregor doesn’t make the trip later this month, Sonnen believes that will be it for “The Notorious.”

“If Conor McGregor doesn’t show up for this, I’m here to let you know if you feel like he’s still fighting or he’s still in the business or he’s not feeling well and “They’re doing it another day, or he and Chandler are going to be somewhere later — I’m here to let you know now, if anyone tells you that, you’ve been given bad information,” Sonnen said on his Youtube channel.

“If McGregor doesn’t show up on June 29 and fight Michael Chandler at 170 pounds, that’s exactly the same as announcing Conor McGregor’s retirement from the sport.”

McGregor has never pulled out of a fight. He apologized for the cancellation of the UFC 303 pre-fight press conference, scheduled for June 3 at the 3Arena in Dublin. He was expected to return for the first time since breaking his leg in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
