“The fight’s happening. Where we are right now, there’s a lot of speculation, but the fight is on,” Chandler said. “June 29th, it’s happening.”

McGregor indirectly assured fans that UFC 303 remains intact after posting a series of sparring footage clips on his social media. As of this writing, it remains unknown why Monday’s press conference was called off on short notice.

McGregor and Chandler are both looking to get back in the win column after losses in their last fights. McGregor hasn’t fought since snapping his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

Chandler lost to Poirier in his last UFC outing at UFC 281. His holdout for the McGregor fight included their time coaching opposite each other on The Ultimate Fighter 31.

While there are still plenty more questions than answers regarding UFC 303, Chandler’s remarks should be encouraging to fight fans. As of now, one of the year’s biggest fights will move forward as UFC 303 draws close.

Rest assured the excuses from Conor and the UFC are coming when he gets sparked unconscious.

My leg was a balloon! I could barely train ya knows!

I dunno. Conor has avoided this fight for so long, you’d think it was a title defense.

Wonder if Conner is trolling Chandler like Trump did when he paraded Romney around for one of those cabinet positions.

who cares about McGregor. Guy has been a has been for years now. The fact that this has so much traction shows you all are just common fans. This fight shouldn’t even be on the radar.

And it was important enough to break a 7 month “no posts” streak, i guess.

Who cares who has and hasn’t been?

Where have you been?

I know where I have been and will be, and it’s not where I am now.

Yeah, gets annoying coming on here and seeing McGregor, McGregor, McGregor. Like a bunch of little fanboys.

So many great fighters out there yet the conversation is constantly about a has been. Your obsession on what the media pushes on you is weak af.

Latest on UFC 303: Around this time last week, all the anxiety surrounding the UFC 303 main event seemed to start to dissipate. By Wednesday, no more feelers about replacements were being sent out. All systems seemed to be a go (again). Later in the week, Chandler did an interview with The Pivot about it being all good, and on Saturday UFC was promoting it again on the ABC fight night telecast. There was a scare about the fight being off and the scare appeared to be no more. But since this morning, mutiple sources are now saying feelers are being sent out again for June 29. For a replacement and/or new fight(s). In short, there seems to pessimism all over again regarding the status of the 303 main event. Actually even more pessimism - it seems - than on Monday last week after the presser was cancelled at the last minute. Is this insurance? Due diligence? Emergency replacement mode? Remains to be seen. It’s all developing (again). But it doesn’t appear as though we are out of the woods either way just yet. More to come, and hopefully a definitive answer one way or the other In short order.
