The UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier believes that the former champion in two divisions Conor McGregor has no chance to win the fight against the current holder of the lightweight title Khabib Nurmagomedov.
"Khabib and Conor will fight eventually. This bout will happen. I think, from the financial point of view, this will be the most profitable battle for McGregor. He already attracted a lot of attention after his insane act. In this battle Conor will be transferred to the ground and destroyed.
"Remember the duel between Conor and Chad Mendes. Mendes beat Conor for two rounds, until he rose in the rack. He did this for two rounds, taking a duel on a ten-day notice. You saw what happens when you find yourself on the ground with Khabib. Conor will repeat the fate of Michael Johnson and Edson Barbosa.
"Joe Rogan after the last fight said that Khabib has many holes in the defense and some fighters are able to defeat him. They do not have the slightest chance, Khabib has overcome his last opponent without problems. If you win 50-43 and people criticize you, then you are on a different level," Cormier said.
