Former two-weight champion, Daniel Cormier has claimed he expects to see a long-awaited welterweight fight between former two-division titleholder, Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler headline a blockbuster UFC 300 in April of next year, claiming the card will need sufficient star power.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the Dana White-led organization, has yet to return to the Octagon since fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to common-foe, Dustin Poirier back in July 2021.
As for Chandler, the one-time lightweight title challenger has himself yet to return since suffering defeat to Lafayette native, Poirier, dropping a third round rear-naked choke loss to the former interim champion at UFC 281 back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden.
