Conor McGregor might have one of the best knockout ratios in the sport, but UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who trains alongside the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov, thinks ‘The Notorious’ will have a hard time finishing ‘The Eagle’ with his vaunted left hand.

The fight hasn’t been booked, but many want to see McGregor and Khabib lock horns in the Octagon after Nurmagomedov’s most recent three-round thrashing of Edson Barboza at UFC 219.

Cormier, who trains with Nurmagomedov at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose, California, doesn’t think McGregor’s left hand will be enough to take out the feared Dagestani.
