In addition to his family time, McGregor made a surprise appearance at the 3Arena on Saturday evening, where he publicly addressed his withdrawal from UFC 303 for the first time. Speaking in an in-ring interview, he expressed his disappointment over his last-minute withdrawal:
"You know, I'm still here rocking away. I had a little lapse of concentration and I had to reschedule the bout, so I'm a little upset about that... But it's keeping me dialed in, it's keeping me focused. I can't rock around like I'm out there showing up, like I'm out there doing my job. The job is not done, so that's not bad for someone like me."
McGregor further added:
"If I was any one of these other little bums that can't move, that have no footwork, they don't rely on their skills... then I would be ok. And I've done it before, I've made the walk on a multitude of times under those circumstances and given these bums an advantage over me that they don't even deserve... So now I'm dialing it in, I'm getting these training camps correct. I'm walking in there 100 percent Conor McGregor, injury free. Perfection is on the menu."
