Dude just canceled his fight because he's not in fight shape lol. man I hope Chandler is getting compensated. But then again he's a dummy if he thinks he can rely on a 35 year McGregor to give a fuck about him and his fans lol
Hill and Chimaevs injury/illness disclosed but no info for Mcgregor!!??

Whatever the case in Mcg there's no way in hell the UFC will disclose why he pulled out of the fight. there's a guy in reddit that said Mcg got KO in sparring and that's probably the reason, but i take that asa grain of salt. in either case they won't say the real reason if it's an embarrasing one.

What is Hill's actual injury? Hope it's not an ACL or anything serious...

My guess is Conor showed up to camp in bad shape but genuinely wanted to work hard and get back to top form. After a month or so he either figured he was back and could balance both his training and his partying or he realized his magic is gone and went for drugs and alcohol to quell his anxiety. My guess is his personal issues got the best of him and he was in no condition to fight and needed to take care of himself.

The Conor thing has to be real bad for them not to say nothin. Ariel says its nothing to do with no boozing drug fueled bender...but that doesnt mean it dont have something to do with his inability to fight or even make public appearances. Something is def very wrong that there is no transparency. Ariel knows and even he cant talk about it.
I mean I could understand if there was some hope of it happening they didnt wanna say it was his leg injury so that Chandler wouldnt just target it or something but... man, i dont know.

Alcohol and cocaine withdrawal is the injury
Partially my guess aswell, I think he just realized in this camp his body can't do it anymore. I see it in his sparring.. He's winded after a few exchanges with spar mates that are scared to hit him.. Dude is struggling to breath in 70% sparring with punching bags.
The dude had cardio issues whe he was at his physical prime. Imagine how bad his cardio is now in his mid 30's and all the drugs and alcohol the last few years.
Even when you listen to his interviews the last few years he sounds like he's out of breath lol

I'd bet 80% of Jake Paul's fortune on that.

Yeah if it was a specific injury I feel like they'd be shouting it from the rooftops
Also I can't imagine Dana bluffing it as half of the point of having Conor fight is the shittalking prior to the fight. If they surprise everyone on the day by still having them fight (which would be legitimately exciting) then the gate will be like half what it could have been
If he got arrested it would have leaked by now (McGregor arrests tended to be all over Irish news even if they couldn't name him specifically).
So my guess is he just wasn't fit to fight or was going to get crushed. The (alleged) cocaine probably wasn't helping but neither was being 35, not having fought for years since he snapped his leg in half.
Good for Dana trying to make one last bag from McGregor but from an MMA standpoint I'm more interested to watch Jiri and Poatan going at it

Rumor has it McGregor never signed the contract anyway and money was still an issue. Conor isn’t going to fight for peanuts at this point and he knows he has the UFC by the balls if they don’t play with his…

That would be my guess as well. If he has a legitimate injury why not share with the fan base?
