We’re about three weeks away from Conor McGregor’s big return, and fans are now questioning whether he’s going to make it to his fight.

For the past few weeks, McGregor has been partying at his Dublin pub ahead of the fight.

On Monday, June 3rd, McGregor and his opponent, Michael Chandler, were supposed to face off in front of the public in Dublin, Ireland, but the UFC mysteriously canceled the event 12 hours before it was supposed to start.

“Dear UFC Fans–

The #UFC303 press conference scheduled for Monday June 3rd in Dublin, Ireland at 3Arena has been postponed until further notice. We sincerely apologize to all the fans who were planning to attend. When we have further information on a new date and time, we will share it immediately. – Thank you.”

UFC CEO Dana White was reportedly in route to Ireland immediately after UFC 302 concluded in New Jersey.

On Saturday, White downplayed the recent videos of McGregor partying when asked about it by the media.

“I don’t know what’s real on the Internet and what’s not real on the Internet…I have no idea if any of that is real or true or whatever but you know, Conor is not a dumb guy and you know this is obviously a big fight for him, he’s been calling it the best comeback in the history of sports and all that stuff…I’ll actually be with him tommorrow, I’m flying there right now, so I’ll see what’s going on”

Of course UFC fans are worried about McGregor’s status for the fight.
