[autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag] and [autotag]Michael Chandler[/autotag] will have a chance to send the hype for their UFC 303 into overdrive with a press conference less than a month from the event.
The UFC will travel to Dublin on June 3 for a press conference with McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC), Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) and UFC CEO Dana White in what should certainly be a wild scene at 3Arena. The press conference is scheduled to begin at noon ET/9 a.m. PT.
“I haven’t been to Ireland in a while,” White said in his announcement on X. “The last time I was there was for McGregor vs. Mayweather presser, and it was incredible. And I expect this to be the same.”
UFC 303 takes place June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card, headlined by McGregor vs. Chandler in a five-round welterweight bout, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
The press conference will mark the first time McGregor and Chandler have been in the same room since they were coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series in early 2023.
