The Irishman and the American will meet in the main event of UFC 303, scheduled for June 29 in Las Vegas, USA.

"I think McGregor is the better fighter. He's faster, has the advantage in arm span and his style is more awkward. Chandler is straightforward, so I'm leaning towards Conor.

On the other hand, it's tough for a guy to come back after a long layoff, especially in a five-round fight. Conor is coming back from a bad leg injury and he's going to have to fight five rounds right away," Sonnen said on his podcast.
