Discover the latest twists in the Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fight saga as Gilbert Burns reveals McGregor's possible mind games, inspired by Ryan Garcia. With UFC 303 fast approaching, will the fight go on as planned? Find out more in our detailed coverage.
Conor McGregor's highly anticipated showdown with Michael Chandler at UFC 303 is hanging by a thread. The recent cancellation of the Dublin press conference has fans and pundits alike questioning the fight's status. But according to Gilbert Burns, there's more to this story than meets the eye.
Gilbert Burns, a teammate of Michael Chandler at Kill Cliff FC, believes McGregor is taking a page from Ryan Garcia's playbook. Burns suggests that McGregor is playing mind games, much like Garcia did before his bout with Devin Haney. Garcia famously pretended to lose his cool, missed weight, and allegedly drank beer at weigh-ins, only to later reveal it was all a psychological ploy.
Adding fuel to the fire, McGregor recently shared a concerning Instagram story. The post included an old video of him discussing the balance between resistance and injury during training, accompanied by a sad emoji, which he subsequently deleted. This has only heightened worries among fans about his readiness for the fight.
Renowned MMA reporter Ariel Helwani has noted a significant drop in positivity surrounding the bout. With UFC 303 just two weeks away and the UFC maintaining silence, speculation is rampant.
The clock is ticking for UFC 303, and only time will tell if McGregor vs. Chandler will happen. For more updates on this evolving story, follow this link to read the full story.
