|---|
| The highly anticipated UFC 300 pay-per-view event is already being overshadowed by another exciting mixed martial arts bout. Rumors are swirling that Conor McGregor will make his long-awaited comeback to the octagon to face off against Michael Chandler in UFC 303. It’s important to note that neither Dana White nor the UFC has officially confirmed this matchup. However, the news was leaked by flyweight fighter Cody Durden during a discussion about his role in a prelim fight on the June 29 card. This leak has sparked a frenzy among fans and sportsbooks have even started posting odds for the rumored main event. Conor McGregor has opened as the favorite in this fight. Despite his recent injury and loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, McGregor (-120) is still considered the front-runner. The Irish fighter has only competed three times in the past decade, with his last victory coming against Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone at UFC 246. On the other hand, Michael Chandler (+100) is currently ranked as the No. 6 contender in the Lightweight Division with a 23-8 lifetime record in the UFC. He has also faced recent defeats, including losses to Charles Oliveira, Justin Gaethje, and Poirier. However, Chandler did secure a win against Tony Ferguson at UFC 274. Both McGregor and Chandler are veteran fighters in the twilight of their careers. While it’s unlikely that either will have a shot at the belt currently held by Islam Makhachev, their lightweight showdown is expected to draw record television audiences. As the fight approaches, the betting market is sure to see significant shifts in the odds. Will McGregor’s popularity prevail, or will fans bet against him in his comeback?
