Michael Chandler's team reacts to Conor McGregor pulling out of UFC 303: "Was never the safe bet"

Michael Chandler's nutrition partner MegaFit Meals recently reacted to the news that Conor McGregor reportedly pulled out of their UFC 303 main event. Subsequently, the promotion removed 'Iron' from the card as they await the Irishman to recover and reschedule fully.

There was plenty of speculation that the bout was in jeopardy after the press conference in Dublin, Ireland was canceled on short notice. There were rumors that the bout would be postponed, which ended up happening as Dana White officially announced an updated card for UFC 303 due to McGregor's injury.

In a collaborative Instagram post with the former Bellator lightweight champion, MegaFit Meals shared their thoughts on 'The Notorious' being forced to withdraw from their fight. The post mentioned that waiting for McGregor was worth the risk due to the obvious financial impact of the uncertainty. They wrote:

"@thenotoriousmma was never the safe bet as an opponent, he was always the highest risk. Maybe the highest reward...but the biggest opportunity. There is no right or wrong in this business...you only take risk to grow, or remain comfortable where you are. Embrace the uncertainty. Seek the opportunity. Take calculated risk...And if it doesn't go as planned...redirect the course to something even more great."
