Recently, it was revealed that Conor McGregor would no longer be fighting at UFC 303 on June 29th. Overall, McGregor was set to face off against Michael Chandler. However, it was revealed by Dana White that McGregor was suffering from an injury. This report came weeks after McGregor had been spotted doing nothing but partying. There wasn't a single clip of McGregor training or taking the fight seriously. For many fans, this news was an inevitability.
Following this news, Chael Sonnen was on his ESPN show Good Guy/Bad Guy where he was talking to Daniel Cormier about the McGregor news. That is when he made the claim that McGregor wasn't actually injured. Instead, he was actually going through a bout of rehab. Ultimately, this news was salacious and many in the MMA world ran with it. However, according to a new report from TMZ, everything Sonnen said is allegedly false.
