Conor McGregor is set to return against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246. Interestingly enough, while they’re both mostly lightweights at this point, the fight will be contested at welterweight.
Chael Sonnen spoke about the match up, saying that while McGregor would likely be the “heavy favorite,” two things make this a tougher match up for him: The added 15 lbs, and it being for five rounds instead of three.
“The fight is scheduled for five rounds. If Conor ever had a flaw in his career, and he hasn’t had very many, he’s been open to admit it, he gets tired,” Sonnen said.
