Even though former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor didn't physically compete as initially scheduled Saturday night in Las Vegas as part of the UFC 303 main event, he did participate digitally.

McGregor's Latest Tweet-and-Delete Spree

While the main event rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiří Procházka was winding down, McGregor went on one of his now-infamous tweet-and-delete tirades. In this instance, McGregor seemed emotionally overwhelmed about his postponed Michael Chandler fight.

The UFC has remained relatively silent on McGregor's toe injury, as has UFC CEO Dana White. White told Robbie Fox Friday night that options for McGregor's return taking place in August, September or October are "none of the above."

Chandler, who met with assembled media Saturday night, expressed a different perspective when it comes to the UFC's negotiations.

Chandler met with UFC brass Friday night and said he isn't letting McGregor "off the hook," nor is he looking past the Irishman. Chandler said he and the UFC "are working on some things" surrounding the McGregor fight, hence an announcement may be coming from the UFC sooner rather than later.

McGregor is still seeking his first win since 2020 and is nearly eight years removed from winning a fight with a championship on the line. Whether McGregor competes again remains to be seen, but no matter what happens, the MMA community will be eagerly awaiting the news.
