During last week’s episode of the DC and RC Show on ESPN, former UFC double-champ Daniel Cormier broached the idea of a tune-up fight for company superstar Conor McGregor. Here’s what DC had to say:
“We have seen Conor in a tune-up fight before, when he fought Cowboy Cerrone. That was about as a tune-up fight as it can be,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt to put Conor in there with someone that has a name, that may not be as dangerous to him right now.”
On some level, fellow analyst Chael Sonnen agrees. In a recent YouTube video, he dropped a name that likely isn’t on the minds of anyone who understands how the sport works.
