Conor McGregor’s upcoming appearance at Dublin’s 3Arena has generated a buzz throughout the city. Set to participate in the UFC 303 press conference alongside Dana White and opponent Michael Chandler, McGregor’s presence in Ireland’s largest indoor arena is highly anticipated. This marks McGregor’s return to the venue in a significant capacity since his previous press conference with Jose Aldo before their UFC 194 showdown.
McGregor’s history at the 3Arena dates back to his 2013 fight against Diego Brandao, where he secured a first-round victory after a year-long hiatus due to a knee injury sustained in a previous match against Max Holloway. The responsiveness of McGregor’s fans in Ireland was evident as the free tickets for the press conference were claimed within four minutes of being released online, highlighting the fighter’s immense popularity in his home country.
With a maximum capacity of 13,000, the 3Arena quickly reached full capacity for the event, leaving many fans disappointed as they struggled to secure tickets. Reports even surfaced of tickets being resold on the black market for exorbitant prices, despite their initial availability at no cost. McGregor and Chandler are set to face off in the UFC 303 main event in Las Vegas on June 29th, adding to the excitement surrounding McGregor’s presence in Dublin.
