“Jamahal Hill vs. ͏Carlos Ulberg. We are also adding undefeated 14-0 welterweight Ian Garry. He is going to be taking on the number 13th ranked Michael “Venom” Page. This fight already has the largest gate in UFC history, and it’s International Fight Week,” said White. Initially, Jamaal Hill was supposed to fight Khalil Rountree, however, Rountree tested positive for DHEA and has been suspended from fighting for 2 months.

He further added, “Next week is UFC 302, and when that fight is over, I’m jumping on a plane and flying straight to Dublin, Ireland. We are holding a Conor vs. Chandler press conference live and free on June 3rd.” It seems Dana White wants to leave no stone unturned to ensure UFC 303 is a banger event. According to the UFC CEO, UFC 302 has already surpassed the highest gate in UFC history and the press conference will be the catalyst for the UFC to pull more numbers. It must be noted that it would be McGregor’s third press conference in Ireland after Jose Aldo and Floyd Mayweather’s bout.

Nonetheless, Dana White shared the video through his Instagram handle and well, and Conor McGregor seemed to be thrilled by the news as the former dual weight champion took to his Instagram handle to add a few comments for White. “MY FIGHT! MY HOME TOWN!” wrote McGregor.

According to the former dual-weight champion, McGregor is already in talks with the UFC to make another contract for him. Well, why is McGregor pushing for much for a new contract?

While having a conversation on his YouTube handle, Sonnen said, “Why are you fighting? And it is a massive missing part to the story. I can only think like as big as this fight’s turning out to be that live gate. Then what would happen if we answered the question? What would happen? How big would it get? If we found a reason as to why they’re fighting. And what if that reason is that Conor is on a comeback toward a world championship? Would you buy it?”

Conor McGregor has stated that he would fight in September and December if everything goes well for him. Do you believe that the former dual-weight champion is looking to assert his dominance once again in the UFC? State your thoughts in the comments below.
