American Jamahal Hill: Conor McGregor's comeback fight at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler on June 29 has been cancelled after the Irishman withdrawn from a bout due to injury.

The welterweight matchup, scheduled for Las Vegas, was a major draw selling out in under 10 minutes. This setback comes after McGregor's long layoff following a leg break suffered during his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the cancellation and announced changes to the fight card. The original co-main event, featuring American Jamahal Hill and New Zealand's Carlos Ulberg, was also scrapped due to Hill's knee injury. Anthony Smith will be replacing Hill in the bout.
