American mixed martial arts veteran, expert and analyst Chel Sonnen is confident that the UFC management will not create a new weight class up to 165 pounds for the fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, which will be held on June 29 at UFC 303.

The idea was previously floated by the promotion's former two-weight champion Daniel Cormier.

"There's no need for a 165-pound division. The commission won't agree to it. Yeah and the UFC won't want to do it. Plus, Chandler and McGregor have already lost more fights than I have in my entire career. So if anyone is worthy of fighting for the mythical belt, it's yours truly," Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.
