Cormier suggests making the McGregor vs. Chandler fight a title fight

Dmitriy Kel | Published April 23, 2024, 5:18 a.m.

Renowned American mixed martial arts veteran, commentator and analyst Daniel Cormier believes that the UFC title in the under 165lbs division should be on the line for the upcoming fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.

"Now the rumors have resurfaced again that McGregor and Chandler will fight at interim featherweight to 165 pounds. If true, I think it's a good reason to kick off a new division by putting a new category title on the line. It will draw even more attention to their fight.

Conor McGregor is the name. And Michael Chandler... He will just be in the right place at the right time and in the right place and get a chance to win the belt in the super lightweight division," - quotes Cormier BJ Penn.

Recall that the Irishman and the American will fight on June 29 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA.
