Dana White announced Thursday night that Conor McGregor's return to the octagon will not happen at UFC 303, as he is out of his fight against Michael Chandler due to an injury. A report from MMA journalist Ariel Helwani earlier Thursday said all signs were pointing to McGregor being out of the main event to the point where it was just a 'formality.

And he did it in 736 days over seven fights, which is the shortest amount of time in history as well. Pereira has won 10 of his last 11 fights. As for Prochazka, he's a former light heavyweight champion as well, currently owning 23 first-round wins.
