The Ultimate Fighting Championship has released the new event poster for UFC 303. 

Earlier this week, UFC president Dana White announced Conor McGregor has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to injury. In need of a new main event, White and company tabbed light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira vs. Jiri Prochazka as the headliner. 

Pereira and Prochazka previously fought at UFC 295 on November 11, 2023, with Pereira earning a second-round TKO win to claim the vacant light heavyweight title. 

The UFC has since released the new event poster for UFC 303. 

The poster features the same yellow color scheme as the previous poster, which featured Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. 

UFC 303 takes place on Saturday, June 29, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is part of the promotion's International Fight Week. 

A full look at the updated UFC 303 fight card can be seen below.
