Conor McGregor will not be able to fight against Michael Chandler due to an injury he sustained before last week’s press conference. As a result, the main event for UFC 303, scheduled for June 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada, has changed.

Dana White, the president of UFC, announced that the new headliner will be a bout between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka for the light heavyweight title. The fight between McGregor, the former featherweight and lightweight champion, and Chandler will be rescheduled for a later date this year.
