Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Per week in the past, Conor McGregor was all smiles on-line regardless of the controversy and questions surrounding his alleged “minor damage.” There was quite a lot of optimism from McGregor and the final combating neighborhood concerning his upcoming UFC 303 fundamental occasion versus Michael Chandler, which is meant to go down on June 29, 2024.
Alleged to.
That reserving is trying much less and fewer doubtless by the minute. The most recent report is overwhelmingly unfavorable, strongly hinting that UFC was in want of a brand new fundamental occasion possibility. McGregor himself posted an replace (type of) to his social media, reposting an older video of himself speaking about avoiding damage. He explains, “I believe the extra resistance you practice with, the much less motion and the extra damage. However the much less resistance you practice with, the extra motion and the much less damage. So, a band balances itself.”
Accompanying these philosophical coaching ideas? A tragic emoji and a few prayer fingers.
Fan followers are viewing this submit — which has since been deleted — as a completely horrible signal for the UFC 303 fundamental occasion. Take a look at a number of the reactions to McGregor’s submit beneath:
“Appears fairly clear at this level that Conor McGregor is out and he is aware of it and wish to inform the followers, besides the UFC is stopping him from doing so till they discover a option to save the cardboard.”
“A lot for the return”
“lol he’s trolling and everyone seems to be consuming it up for clicks”
“Can he at the very least take a Energy Slap combat”
“Conor is cooked”
“It’s so over”
“I don’t need to hear Conor say the phrase “damage” earlier than this combat.”
Keep tuned for updates to UFC 303, which appear imminent … a method or one other.

Can Jake Paul and Sean O’Malley save UFC 303? Extra importantly — WHO YA GOT?!?
I like that the commentator’s first response to the chaos within the ring is a chuckle.
Chaos within the ring when Magomed Abusalamov held a choke and Kirill Karpekin kicked him within the face. Magomed’s cornerman entered to assault Karpekin. Appears like they talked it out. #WKGMMA pic.twitter.com/3hf0X4b7AE

Transfer apart boxing, Craig Jones vs. ADCC is shaping as much as be my favourite beef of the 12 months.
25-4 ACA Light-weight champion Eduard Vartanyan rides an eight-fight win streak, however he’ll NOT be signing with UFC.
Vartanyan ain’t going to UFC. They did not need to supply him the contract, solely have been will to supply him the spot on DWCS, which after all he rejected. Most certainly will return to ACA. https://t.co/mfmpCD60OM
