What is the fresh status of UFC 303? Is Conor McGregor's fight still intact?

According to popular MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, "pessimism" has yet again engulfed the UFC 303 event. The event which is marketed as a mega spectacle where the biggest superstar of the promotion and the sport will make his return after three years, apparently facing issues again. UFC 303 has endured a wild ride. There were striking assertions that the event had been cancelled when the much-anticipated presser that was supposed to take place in Dublin on June 3 was called off. The basis for that was that the official broadcaster of UFC (ESPN) also erased the event from the PPV line-up, and the teasers were also dropped. However, some satisfactory news prevailed afterwards when everything went back on track and a video of Conor McGregor sparring stoked the enthusiast even more. But now fresh concerns have landed. According to reports, this time the worrying signs are even more grave and hence, it is difficult to gauge whether the UFC 303 event will proceed as per schedule or will it even happen or not?

Nevertheless, since no official confirmation regarding a delay or deferment has come from UFC's side, the event still stands tall. Thus, as of now everything is in the right place and Conor McGregor is making his much-awaited return on June 29 inside the T-Mobile arena.
