The long wait for UFC 303 finally ended when the highly-anticipated event took place on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

UFC 303 Preview: Alex Pereira vs. Jiří Procházka 2, Ortega vs. Lopes

The original main event for UFC 303 was supposed to see Conor McGregor make his long-awaited return to the Octagon to face Michael Chandler. Following McGregor’s withdrawal from the fight due to a toe injury, Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira stepped in on short notice and successfully defended his belt in a rematch with former titleholder Jiří Procházka when "Poatan" once again stopped Procházka in the second round.

The night’s co-main event was also put together on short notice and was supposed to feature top featherweight contenders Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes competing at 155 lbs. It was announced during UFC 303 that Ortega was unable to compete, and featherweight veteran Dan Ige stepped up on just a few hours notice to face Lopes but ultimately lost a unanimous decision to the surging contender.

The rest of the main card also saw Roman Dolidze move up to light heavyweight and defeat Anthony Smith after Macy Chiasson opened up a cut on Mayra Bueno Silva that forced the cage side doctor to stop their women's bantamweight bout. Ian Machado Garry extended his unbeaten record against Michael “Venom” Page in the main card opener, and the second half of the UFC 303 prelims included some huge finishes from the likes of Joe Pyfer, Payton Talbott, and Jean Silva.
