Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler is the stuff dreams are made of.
That’s how the UFC marketing team is selling their fight anyway, with the rivals set to collide in the welterweight main event of UFC 303. An epic promo for the June 29 clash was released during Saturday’s UFC 302 broadcast and you can watch it below.
Accompanied by the familiar strains of Aerosmith’s Dream On, the McGregor-Chandler rivalry is hyped up to the max, with footage of McGregor’s dramatic comeback from a July 2021 leg injury and Chandler passionately asserting himself as the man to put down MMA’s biggest star.
Anticipation for McGregor’s return is already through the roof with the former two-division champion returning from a three-year hiatus. Will he regain his former glory with a vintage showing against Chandler, or will Chandler score the biggest win of his career and launch himself into another level of stardom?
UFC 303 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs live on ESPN+ pay-per-view on June 29.
