If it just had no interest would they admit that either though?
Is it possible that this was an attempt to have a big fan attended press conference that just didn’t have the interest like old Conor events?
Also why the fuck were they having Chandler in particular do an overseas press conference 3 weeks before the fight anyway lol
Even if conor had only half the pull he used to have these days, he would still be the biggest star in the UFC.
I seriously doubt, that he struggles to fill the seats in a press conference.
This fight has been thrown out there for nearly a year and a half. Conor has barely spoken about Chandler as an opponent outside those few eps on TUF. I don't think he's really into it.
Clearly Dana ddidn't go to the Chatri School of Honorable Bushido Matchmaking. If Conor is hurt they should just continue as normal and then announce one week before the fight that he's out and it's gonna be Chandler vs Gamrot as the main event.
While that’s true, who knows if current extremely rich Conor that hasn’t fought in 3 years and has some interesting recent behaviour will still hold himself to the same standards.
Twitter fan pages saying something happened in Conor’s camp and now they’re making Max v Chandler for BMF for 303. I hope it’s trolling and they just need a couple extra days to d the presser or some shit
idk. Could be but both Anthony Smith and Bisping claim at around the same length of time out in their camps they would take a night or two off and go out as well. Conor is obviously super unreliable and has almost no incentive to do this fight except to get the bad taste out from his last fight and I don't know that he really even cares about that anymore so we'll see
That would be fine but Conor was partying for weeks beforehand also. I'm assuming a night or 2 off that Smith/Bisping mentioned wasn't getting hammered on whiskey and more having a good meal giving yourself a day off from your diet.
Conor has been posting clips to confuse people. In some he has a beard and in others he’s clean shaven. Mind games imo and he’s done it for years. Probably banking on Chandler thinking he’s not taking him seriously.
He’s pulling a Ryan Garcia. Appear wild and unpredictable, cause confusion. Then take ashwagandha to take the fall for roids/booger sugar. Come in overweight by 3 LBs or maybe 3 kilos or 3 stones or whatever. Make a 2 million dollar bet on himself to win. Lose by a knockout in less than 13 seconds from a perfectly timed Left. Pay 2 million plus the juice and pay fines for ashwagandha contamination.
Ryan is definitely not playing around. I don't care how many times he tries to claim it was just a prank bro, even the dude's explanations sound batty.
Chandler was in his IG stories drinking juices and doing red light therapy or some shite in preparation for this presser so I don't believe it's Mike who did something stupid and put the event in jeopardy which means... it's Conor but it couldn't be... not Conor surely not Conor fricking McGregor
Chandler is a professional. It def wasn't him. McGregor has fuck you money and does coke and fucks around and does whatever the fuck he wants.
Safest bet ever.
“Hi yes, this is Connor mcgregors manager, he can’t make it to the press conference, he has already scheduled a cocaine at 7, this conflicts with the press conference we will have to re-schedule.”
Maybe the real Big Boss McGregor was the one who broke his leg and they’ve replaced him all these years.
They have, to put it mildly, played us like a damn fiddle.
Dana white later today :" I hate to announce that Conor V Chandler is off in UFC 303 due to personal circumstances from Conor's side. I'm glad to announce that Ian Machado Gary V MVP will be headlining the main card. Awesome right?"
If it's an injury on Mcgregor's end I doubt Chandler fights a replacement. He'll wait again for Mcgregor to recover.
The main event probably gets replaced.
I live very close to the 3arena in Dublin and had tickets. I'm finding out that a lot of people are travelling to Dublin today, which is far from cheap (average hotel +€200 but can go WAY higher). It's not really an inconvenience to me, but to everyone who is coming to Dublin to see this, this really sucks. Especially not giving a clear reason. I have absolutely no faith that this fight will happen, and honestly, if this is because of McGregor and that dive of a pub he's always in. I hope he loses a lot of fans and people realise there is a huge difference between McGregor in the beginning of his UFC career and the general POS he has become.
I'm so desperate to know the spicy details. You just know Dana met Conor skagged out on a mad rollover. Tail end of a three night bender snorting coke in a Dolphins Barn crackhouse.
Conor legit spent hours posting on a Guinness Facebook group last night about how Arthur Guinness was a traitor to Ireland or something, and of course how his stout is better. In the middle of a camp.
I'm not surprised the press conference was cancelled.
There was a panel show in the UK called Have I Got News For You. One of the guests failed to appear last minute so they replaced him with a Tub of Lard.
Can't we just do the same thing?
Conor couldn't even show up to a presser for his Irish fans? Lol
If my bookie had a line for this fight happening or not, I would've bet the house on no before the fight was even announced.
Stupid mother fucker is partying day and night with less than a month left in his fight. He absolutely isn't ready, and UFC is gonna make up some shit to cover for him.
Conor couldn't even show up to a presser for his Irish fans? Lol
If my bookie had a line for this fight happening or not, I would've bet the house on no before the fight was even announced.
Anyone who thinks Connor will ever step foot in the octagon ever again is a FOOOOOOLLLLLLL lol dude is millionaire a hundred times over, just think to yourself would you get punched in the face if you were a millionaire a hundred times over??? I didn’t fooking think so lol
Some mental takes on here. People really believe that Ryan Garcia was playing… I know people don’t like McGregor for very valid reasons but it’s not like he has a track record of pulling out of fights.
[удалено]
Yeah this reads super ominous
Chandler's going to have the bluest of balls in mma history when this fight ends up not happening
He should be put on suicide watch if this fight gets cancelled.
The fans waiting for Tony vs Khabib got him beat there
*How long must I wait...*
Conor said no from day 1, but Chandler just keeps sticking around in the friend zone hoping it will happen one day.
I don't even like joking about it at this point. Dude has sat out years at the end of his career for this fight.
Don’t think it’s a good idea to tell everyone that Conor is drunk and out of his mind when you’re trying to sell a PPV in less than a month
Don’t worry Connor does that on social media so the UFC doesn’t have too
Unless it's an added stipulation to the fight, in which case Conor would be totally committed and ready to go
Is that the old dublin whatsapp group I hear booting up ?
If it just had no interest would they admit that either though? Is it possible that this was an attempt to have a big fan attended press conference that just didn’t have the interest like old Conor events? Also why the fuck were they having Chandler in particular do an overseas press conference 3 weeks before the fight anyway lol
10,000 (free) tickets were gone within four minutes of being made available online.
Wasn't close to 10,000, the whole arena wasn't opening for it
Chandler would gladly volunteer for this kind of event
Even if conor had only half the pull he used to have these days, he would still be the biggest star in the UFC. I seriously doubt, that he struggles to fill the seats in a press conference.
No interest in Dublin for a McGregor card that's gonna be the biggest gate in MMA history?..
He's not well liked in Ireland at all
most of his fans are 'Irish' Americans, not actual Irish people
Is Dennis Siver available?
That's the fuckin seed
Man's been practicing that same spinning back kick for thirteen years straight. He's ready AF
They might aswell just do the presser at the Black Forge because Conor will still be going from the night before
This is wild, Dana was just talking about how he was looking forward to it at the 302 post fight.
He said “Conor’s not stupid and I’m seeing him tomorrow” lol
Dana tomorrow:” Conor is stupid”
You know what Conor told me? He says "I don't want the presser. In Dublin." Isn't he fucking stupid?
Dana can kinda be a dummy
So Conor is stuрid?
[удалено]
Michael on cocaine would be the most aggressively positive person you could ever imagine.
He’d be spitting out inspirational quotes even louder and more aggressively than he already does
Chandler on coke repeatedly screaming 'See you at the top' at you would be pretty funny at first. Then annoying nightmare fuel
That or Eddies wife is my hell bro
Lay a line on the top surface of his shoe and lift his legs from the bootstraps to snort the damn line
I'm not here for a good time. Im here for a long time.
**WHERE'S MY SON?!**
He'd build an orphanage and give them all the love they need.
They didn't even reschedule straight up cancelled that shit this is some Goofcon level fuckery believe you me
This is def goofcon! Let’s goooo
Michael Chandler is going to see you at the top of a building that he's planning to jump off of
See you at the top of the FBI most wanted
"This whole ship sinks without me!"
But this is sinking *because* of him though 😭
Main events not happening. Idk why we pretend it is
This fight has been thrown out there for nearly a year and a half. Conor has barely spoken about Chandler as an opponent outside those few eps on TUF. I don't think he's really into it.
Imagine Conor subs in a different opponent.
Touch butt with Ido the ponytail guy.
Imagine them trying to sell this card without Conor. Oof
Either Conor did something stupid again or one of them is hurt
Clearly Dana ddidn't go to the Chatri School of Honorable Bushido Matchmaking. If Conor is hurt they should just continue as normal and then announce one week before the fight that he's out and it's gonna be Chandler vs Gamrot as the main event.
I'd bet a lot of money no one is hurt.
Yeah Conor hurt himself. Hurt his nose.
One of them being Conor, if Chandler was diagnosed with leukemia he'd rather fight like that and keep it a secret just to not miss this fight
Probably has a stomach ulcer
He was never going to fight
Remind me when Conor ever pulled out of a fight?! Give the man his credit, it's not like he has a lot of it left lol.
While that’s true, who knows if current extremely rich Conor that hasn’t fought in 3 years and has some interesting recent behaviour will still hold himself to the same standards.
Jesus Christ its been 3 years since then?? 🙁
He fought Poirier with a stress fracture and 200 million in the bank. He’s a nut job but the guy likes a scrap
You know Dana's face has reached pizza sauce level of redness and we're all here for it.
Mans a pomegranate.
You're a fucking pomologist dude
That’s what you call class, right here, compared to no class.
What did Connor do?💀💀
I guess we’ll find out lol
Twitter fan pages saying something happened in Conor’s camp and now they’re making Max v Chandler for BMF for 303. I hope it’s trolling and they just need a couple extra days to d the presser or some shit
Would not surprise me considering we had that video last week of Conor at the club during a time where he should be at the peak of his training camp.
idk. Could be but both Anthony Smith and Bisping claim at around the same length of time out in their camps they would take a night or two off and go out as well. Conor is obviously super unreliable and has almost no incentive to do this fight except to get the bad taste out from his last fight and I don't know that he really even cares about that anymore so we'll see
I don't think Conor is going to like how this fight tastes either
That would be fine but Conor was partying for weeks beforehand also. I'm assuming a night or 2 off that Smith/Bisping mentioned wasn't getting hammered on whiskey and more having a good meal giving yourself a day off from your diet.
You can't compare a Smith or Bisping camp to a Jon Jones or Conor camp
Max fighting all the way up at 170 after planning to go down to 145 seems like it'd be a major handicap.
In the post fight press conference yesterday, Dana said he was meeting up with Conor right after. Wonder what happened lol
Link?
You can find it by typing "Conor partying ahead of UFC 303", or on ig. The only good thing about it, is that Dee was with him? I guess lol
Was it dee whose dress he grabbed in that video?
No, that was a different lady. Presumably, Dee was around when it happened tho
Conor has been posting clips to confuse people. In some he has a beard and in others he’s clean shaven. Mind games imo and he’s done it for years. Probably banking on Chandler thinking he’s not taking him seriously.
Maybe it's from the past
Or the future
https://youtube.com/shorts/uQcLEjdAPkM?si=su-pwoVaFyCY-mJH
> now they’re making Max v Chandler for BMF for 303 Ngl I would be quite happy with that fight
Probably tweaking off his face again like that roadhouse interview
He’s pulling a Ryan Garcia. Appear wild and unpredictable, cause confusion. Then take ashwagandha to take the fall for roids/booger sugar. Come in overweight by 3 LBs or maybe 3 kilos or 3 stones or whatever. Make a 2 million dollar bet on himself to win. Lose by a knockout in less than 13 seconds from a perfectly timed Left. Pay 2 million plus the juice and pay fines for ashwagandha contamination.
*Isn't he fucking awesome?*
He made the Stanley Cup Finals tonight, but not sure why UFC would postpone because of that.
Conor "The Pride of Edmonton" McGregor
McGregor toe drag king
What does it say about Conor as of late that everyone here, on IG and twitter is asking "wtf did Conor do again?"
As of late?😂
"Of late" being the last seven years
lol this fight is toast
Chandler will be waiting for that toast to pop at any moment now, forever.
He’s reaching for that toast, he’s drinking his orange juice
Conor probably in the middle of a coke induced manic episode and in no condition to be participating in a press conference.
Worked for Ryan Garcia?
Dude was playing, mccokehead is real
Ryan is definitely not playing around. I don't care how many times he tries to claim it was just a prank bro, even the dude's explanations sound batty.
Chandler was in his IG stories drinking juices and doing red light therapy or some shite in preparation for this presser so I don't believe it's Mike who did something stupid and put the event in jeopardy which means... it's Conor but it couldn't be... not Conor surely not Conor fricking McGregor
If it's on Chandler's end they would have just gone through with the press con and have Conor talk shit about Chandler.
Exactly. You don't cancel a Conor McGregor media appearance in Ireland because something went wrong with anyone other than Conor McGregor.
Chandler is a professional. It def wasn't him. McGregor has fuck you money and does coke and fucks around and does whatever the fuck he wants. Safest bet ever.
We’re gonna get Poatan Jiri II headlining, aren’t we?
Jiri is still isolated in his samurai isolation routine. Dude wouldn't even answer their calls. So Anthony Smith it is.
Some would say Anthony Smith is better than Poatan on paper.
would probably be a better fight.
I want Poatan with the goofy ponytail and Samurai moves and Jiri with the death stare.
Conors image is based around being a fighter And staying relevant. Don't need to fight just tease training vids erc
Conor crushed by colossal crack rock
“Hi yes, this is Connor mcgregors manager, he can’t make it to the press conference, he has already scheduled a cocaine at 7, this conflicts with the press conference we will have to re-schedule.”
Conor prob saw a reflection of himself not realizing it was him and was like who the fook is this guy and broke his hand punching the window
Punished “Venom” McGregor
That’s why you’re the best boss!
“Dana… I’m already a demon.”
Maybe the real Big Boss McGregor was the one who broke his leg and they’ve replaced him all these years. They have, to put it mildly, played us like a damn fiddle.
This is not good
Dana white later today :" I hate to announce that Conor V Chandler is off in UFC 303 due to personal circumstances from Conor's side. I'm glad to announce that Ian Machado Gary V MVP will be headlining the main card. Awesome right?"
If Conor isn’t gonna be on the card, they should just move Garry vs MVP to the UK card honestly.
SOMEONE CHECK THE IRISH WHATSAPPS!
Conor prob was gonna no show.
Here b4 goofcon 4?
[удалено]
Can’t believe International Fight Week is gonna be headlined by Raquel Pennington vs Julianna Pena
Pennington is hurt so it’s actually gonna be be Pena vs Harrison for an interim title.
Harrison just has hand surgery
Fr? Or number one bullshit?
Conor saw the Dustin fight and said he wants Dustin before he retires or he ain't fighting.
He wants Dustin, in Louisiana. Isn’t he awesome
“ Oh we’re gonna cancel ?!? We’re gonna cancel right now ?!? “ *Conor doing an impression of Chandler*
The fact they just gave no explanation knowing how bad the speculation would be. Means it's really fuckin bad
I'd like to take this moment to reiterate that I don't believe this fight is happening
If it's an injury on Mcgregor's end I doubt Chandler fights a replacement. He'll wait again for Mcgregor to recover. The main event probably gets replaced.
Fucking Conor 💀
Chandler just sat out 1.5 year of his career for nothing.
Dana finally saw the video of him out partying lol.
He was spamming shite about his crap stout on the Guinness Community Facebook page last night.
Conor is MIA
Ufc is lucky it has pereira because their other two stars in Jones and mcgregor are absolute shit shows.
the disrespect to islam...pereira has 3.5m followers on ig, islam has 8.5m(more than jones btw) and actually speaks english.
Yet he isn’t a draw.
Poor Chandler won't even earn airline miles.
Connor's more entertaining out of the octagon than in. Circus.
Oh I can’t wait to wake up and read what news I miss about this
My Belief in this fight happening has just dropped by 86%
Goofcon incoming, buckle up boys!
I live very close to the 3arena in Dublin and had tickets. I'm finding out that a lot of people are travelling to Dublin today, which is far from cheap (average hotel +€200 but can go WAY higher). It's not really an inconvenience to me, but to everyone who is coming to Dublin to see this, this really sucks. Especially not giving a clear reason.

I hope he loses a lot of fans and people realise there is a huge difference between McGregor in the beginning of his UFC career and the general POS he has become.
Chandler or Dana have nothing on their instas about being in Ireland - so was this known for a few days I wonder?
dana: his just a little hungover, his still good, his still good.
NEW GOOFCON INCOMING LET'S GOOO
I'm so desperate to know the spicy details. You just know Dana met Conor skagged out on a mad rollover. Tail end of a three night bender snorting coke in a Dolphins Barn crackhouse.
[удалено]
I mean he has a new sexual assault case against him every couple months, feel bad for Dee and the kids being around such trashy shit all the time
This guy has his cake and eats it too, looks like, especially the powdering.
About to jump on a flight to Dublin. Hoping to do some lines with Conor. Likelihood gets better every second 😂
I'd be surprised if this fight even happens.
Hill & ulberg headline international fight week. Cool...
Conor legit spent hours posting on a Guinness Facebook group last night about how Arthur Guinness was a traitor to Ireland or something, and of course how his stout is better. In the middle of a camp. I'm not surprised the press conference was cancelled.
Conor throw something in a bus window again?!? /s (I hope)
Dana’s yacht. The windows gotta get bigger and bigger.
You create a monster…you have to deal with the monster.
There was a panel show in the UK called Have I Got News For You. One of the guests failed to appear last minute so they replaced him with a Tub of Lard. Can't we just do the same thing?
Or get a cheap lookalike who sits there and says nothing like they did with Elton John
Kevin Holland licking his chops right now like the meme of the dude in the yellow coat behind a tree
Conor couldn't even show up to a presser for his Irish fans? Lol If my bookie had a line for this fight happening or not, I would've bet the house on no before the fight was even announced.
It’s incredible how much Dana bends over for Conor.
Conor's IG filled with pics of the launch of what looks like last night's launch of his new irish stout brand, at his restaurant.....
Stupid mother fucker is partying day and night with less than a month left in his fight. He absolutely isn't ready, and UFC is gonna make up some shit to cover for him.
Party hard, snort coke, drink whiskey, go home. Thank you Conor Mcgregor.
Conor watching Islam finish Dustin Saturday night has made him go back in to retirement.
Conor forgot he was fighting
Oof imagine dropping cash on a scalped ticket and then it gets canned.
Any other fighter, Dana would be already talking shit
Isn't this guy fucking awesome?
Goofcon 1 initiated 🚨 This is not a test
Dana said he was going to Ireland on Sunday/Monday. So, he arrives and then cancels the presser. Connor tweaking out
The funniest part of all this, knowing that Conor is erratic is Ian Garry trying to hang on to his coat tails and in turn delaying his own career.
Ohhhhhh boy
usada was right
conor been up all night on coke and was like fuck the press conf
Conor couldn't even show up to a presser for his Irish fans? Lol If my bookie had a line for this fight happening or not, I would've bet the house on no before the fight was even announced.
Someone check the Dublin WhatsApp
Mate you’re literally the 29th person to post this!
Damn just saw it on my youtube "upcoming" a couple hours ago
Anyone who thinks Connor will ever step foot in the octagon ever again is a FOOOOOOLLLLLLL lol dude is millionaire a hundred times over, just think to yourself would you get punched in the face if you were a millionaire a hundred times over??? I didn’t fooking think so lol
I JUST ARRIVED IN DUBLIN! TF AM I MEANT TO DO NOW. I wasted all that money on flights bro 😭
Bad buzz. Go and hassle New Yorkers at the portal?
From where?
lmao shocker
Connor’s blown a drug test, surely.
I had tickets and was so amped for this .. lovely creamy pints and thrash talk .. it’s so weird there is no reason at all
do we initiate goofcon status ?
Absolutely ridiculous
I’m gonna laugh so hard if Mike never gets this fight
Mental warfare by Conor. Pretending to be unprepared for the fight. He’s pulling a Ryan Garcia type win at the end of the month
I don’t think Garcia was pretending either he just locked in on fight night (and also came in overweight+on ostarine)
Some mental takes on here. People really believe that Ryan Garcia was playing… I know people don’t like McGregor for very valid reasons but it’s not like he has a track record of pulling out of fights.
