Michael Chandler will not compete at UFC 303 but still wants to attend the event in person as the originally scheduled main event fighter. Conor McGregor, however, was critical of his decision to do so.
McGregor took offense to previous comments from Chandler claiming that UFC 303 was "his" event and responded by re-posting a fan-created graphic. The meme mocked Chandler's decision to attend UFC 303 by suggesting that people do not know who he is.
While some fans were critical of the tweet given that McGregor withdrew from the event with an injury, many others appreciated the humor of the post.

Conor McGregor suffered a broken toe injury
Conor McGregor was expected to return to MMA on June 29 against Michael Chandler but withdrew from the fight with a broken toe injury.
While the injury was initially kept behind closed doors, McGregor eventually revealed the nature of his condition on social media.
Though his broken toe has been criticized by many as a minor injury, McGregor explained that after his previous fight resulted in a broken leg, he desires to never enter another contest compromised. The Irishman expressed interest in returning on a pay-per-view card in late 2024 and said he does not care if his opponent is Chandler or not.
