- UFC. Jake Paul is desperate to debut in MMA, threatens a rival to get a place in UFC 303: "I would 100% kill you"
As we've been telling you all throughout the day, the situation of the UFC 303 main event remains fluid and still impossible to predict. Conor McGregor reportedly is still trying to negotiate with Dana White, the specifics about this fight are still unclear. Journalist Ariel Helwani has been one of the main sources of information on this matter but it is evident that not even he knows the full story as it keeps unfolding. So far, he has remained unable to confirm whether the Conor vs Chandler fight will happen or not. All he has been able to share thus far is that there is currently an effort trying to find the ideal replacements in case the fight falls apart. Not sounding very optimistic, Ariel is. That uncertainty right there is what has all UFC fans fuming at Dana White right now.
UFC still promoting Conor McGregor on social media
About two hours ago, the UFC's official Instagram posted a story where they are still promoting Conor McGregor for UFC 303. He appears tobe promoting online sports betting for a fight we are not sure will even happen. They haven't taken out the story as this article went live, which makes the entire situation even stranger than it is. Because so far, people like Daniel Cormier, John Anik, and Helwani himself have been pessimistic about the fight even taking place. Rumors are running wild right now but the strongest one is that Conor McGregor might be injured.
Currently, the latest report suggests that Dana White and Conor McGregor are still trying to reach an agreement on what is going to happen. Not telling the people what is actually happening can be extremely detrimental to the ticket sales for the event. Plus, Helwani already confirmed there is a replacement for the co-main event because that is now off as well. Ariel confirmed that the UFC has Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopez as a potential co-main event replacement. Helwani is also saying that Dana White wants to announce everything in a single shot, which may explain why all the secrecy about what is happening. Stay tuned!
