Conor McGregor wanted to fight at UFC 300
Conor McGregor's next fight has been the talk of the MMA world for a while now. While he has now seemingly confirmed his return for June, many believed that 'The Notorious' will feature on UFC 300.
Moreover, as reported by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, McGregor even tried to push the UFC to be a part of the promotion's historic card. However, they settled for a fight in the International Fight Week. Helwani wrote on X:
“International Fight Week is in fact slated for June 29 in Vegas. First time that IFW will be in June. It’s usually that first or second Saturday in July. McGregor wanted to fight at 300. He pushed hard for it. He was ready, I’m told. But after meeting with the brass last week they settled on June 29.”
