Conor McGregor ‘not motivated’ for return as Cormier fears worst for fight

There’s a storm brewing in the MMA world with fears swirling around Conor McGregor’s scheduled fight against Michael Chandler in Las Vegas this month.

The Dubliner is preparing to return to the Octagon for his first match in nearly three years on June 29 but tensions are high as doubt clouds the bout’s fate. A press conference planned for the event – set to be attended by both fighters and UFC President Dana White – was abruptly called off on Monday, sparking uncertainty.
