Conor McGregor shared to social media the injury that forced him out of UFC 303 against Michael Chandler, writing that he suffered a broken toe during a training session.
McGregor was due to face Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29, but UFC CEO Dana White announced earlier this month that the fight was off. The nature of McGregor's injury was not known until Friday, when McGregor posted about it for the first time since the fight cancellation.."... We had a lapse in concentration and engaged in a training session without wearing the full protective gear and I hit the toe off the elbow and broke the toe clean. It needs a few weeks that's it.
Chandler has not indicated whether he will wait for McGregor or book a new opponent. Chandler, 38, has not fought since November 2022, in large part due to waiting for McGregor. The two coached against each other on"The Ultimate Fighter" reality series in 2023. McGregor also posted on social media Friday that he is the biggest possible fight for Chandler, writing that"he would need to fight 10 fights to make what he would make in this one."
Chandler is getting paid 10x of what his contract states for other fights. Meaning he would need to fight 10 fights to make what he would make in this one. I'm The One.For those saying he could have fought 2 or 3 times by now etc. He'd need 10 to break even with this cheque."I will get this back," McGregor wrote."I've got . I've got two fights left on my contract. I've got Bugattis and more yachts on my mind. I'm coming to shine. I gotta just take my time .
