The official version of the output of Conor McGregor of the fight against Michael chandler No. UFC 303, which would mark his return to the Octagon after almost three years of inactivity, was due to an injury suffered by the Irishman. Former fighter and current Ultimate commentator, Chael Sonnen, however, is not convinced by this.
During a recent edition of the 'Good Guy/Bad Guy' podcast, with Daniel Cormier, Chael Sonnen denied a possible injury to Conor McGregor and stated that the Irishman would be in rehabilitation for substance abuse, including alcohol. The North American even indicated that the UFC was covering up the case due to a conflict of interest with the whiskey brand 'Proper', which the 'Notório' owns and which sponsors Ultimate.

“McGregor is not hurt. I don't know if we're doing television here or when we should play together, but he's not hurt. It's a very difficult situation when he has people speaking for him and they are all sworn to secrecy. What an incredible irony it would be if both sides had massive interests in alcohol and one of them (Conor) is going through rehab for substance abuse, including alcohol. It's a difficult story to tell. Having that 'Proper' drink. I’ll see you at an appropriate time, as I’m in an appropriate place right now,” Sonnen said.
With the output of Conor McGregor do UFC 303, Alex Poatán was called up to defend the light heavyweight belt (up to 93 kg) in a rematch against Jiri Prochazka in the new main fight of the event that takes place on June 29th, in Las Vegas, in the United States.
