The year 2024 marks the return of the former dual champion Conor McGregor after a gap of three years. McGregor is all set to take on Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in the 170-pound division. However, the fans have now questioned the Dubliner after his recent press conference in Dublin got called off. Most of them have started to believe that ‘Mystic Mac’ will not turn up for the event.

However, he has now found support from Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. The former light heavyweight champion appeared for an interview with ‘The Schmo’ on his YouTube channel. While speaking to the host, he seemed confident of McGregor making a comeback at UFC 303.

Conor McGregor will definitely return for UFC 303 feels ‘Rampage’

Former light heavyweight champion Jackson has always been a fan of Conor McGregor. ‘ Rampage’ in most of his podcasts has always credited the Dubliner for his contribution to the sport. Just like most MMA fans, Jackson is also pretty excited about the return of McGregor. With McGregor calling off his recent press conference on June 3, most fans feel the fight might also be called off. However, Jackson doesn’t quite feel the same. While speaking to the host, he said, “Oh yeah, I think Conor is going to show up.”

McGregor has uploaded his latest training videos on Instagram, which is a positive sign for the upcoming event on June 29. The 35-year-old looks sharp in the videos and it seems he is a man on a mission. The former light heavyweight champion also feels exactly the same and said, “You know Conor, he’s a man you know. He needs to show up for the for the sport. He’s the reason why our sport is at the height that it is right now. So you know the world needs to see Conor McGregor in a cage doing his thing.”

McGregor himself took to his X account and stated the reason for his cancellation as a ‘series of uncontrollable events’. However, there are still some experts who are questioning the Dubliner. Talking about experts Josh ‘The Punk’ Thomson and Big John McCarthy took to their YouTube channel to share their opinion on the whole.

Conor McGregor is hiding an injury, feels Josh Thomson

Josh Thomson and ‘Big’ John McCarthy have always been critical about McGregor and his lifestyle. Now, with his recent press conference called off, the pair took the opportunity to share their opinion on the matter. One of the biggest talking points of the event was the UFC issuing an apology to more than 8000 fans. All of them bought tickets to witness their favorite superstar. However, the press conference had to eventually be called off for some unknown reason. McGregor rarely cancels any of his events, which has now forced the fans to believe something is certainly wrong. Adding to the speculations Thomson also shared his honest opinion of the whole. 

He said, “A couple of sources that I have heard from, was that he is dealing with a little bit of injury you know Conor is and so that they may, he should be good to go for the fight time.” Thomson then assumed Conor McGregor might have a brace on his foot. Seeing him injured might just give an advantage to Chandler therefore, he decided to not appear at the press conference.

Despite facing criticism from many experts, McGregor is back to training. His recent training clips are a positive sign for fans who, desperately want to see him in action. Not only does the 35-year-old look sharp, he even looks hungrier than before.
