McGregor vs. Chandler: A Highlight of International Fight Week

UFC 303 is set to electrify the Las Vegas scene on June 29, 2024, as part of the highly anticipated International Fight Week. Former dual champion Conor McGregor makes his long-awaited return to the octagon, taking on top-ranked lightweight contender Michael Chandler in the night’s main event. This bout promises not just high stakes but also high drama, as both fighters are known for their explosive fighting styles and charismatic presences.

Co-Main Event: Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.

The co-main event features former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jamahal Hill, who is looking to bounce back from a brutal knockout loss at UFC 300 against current champion Alex Pereira. He faces Khalil Rountree Jr., who enters the cage on a five-fight winning streak, including a recent victory over UFC veteran Anthony Smith. This matchup is a critical crossroads for both fighters, with Hill aiming to reclaim his spot at the top and Rountree looking to solidify his standing in the light heavyweight ranks.

Undercard Highlights: Andrei Arlovski’s Veteran Challenge

Earlier in the week, it was confirmed that former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski would also be competing at UFC 303. Arlovski is set to face the unranked Slovakian powerhouse Martin Buday in the undercard. Despite coming off three consecutive losses, Arlovski’s experience and resilience make him a formidable opponent. This fight is crucial for Arlovski to prove he still belongs in the highly competitive heavyweight division.
