Get ready for a ringside view of the latest UFC drama as Daniel Cormier throws shade at Michael Chandler, urging him to resist Conor McGregor's unexpected middleweight bout announcement. Dive into the details here and witness the sparks fly in this unexpected showdown.
Former two-division champ Daniel Cormier is sounding the alarm for Michael Chandler, urging the lightweight contender to push back against Conor McGregor's unexpected announcement of a middleweight clash at UFC 302. Cormier is not mincing words, claiming Chandler is playing into McGregor's hands and needs to show some grit.
McGregor, a former lightweight and featherweight champ, has been out of the octagon since his leg injury at UFC 264. Chandler, on the other hand, faced a rear-naked choke loss to Dustin Poirier in his last outing in November. Now, the unexpected middleweight bout looms large for both fighters.
McGregor dropped a bombshell, announcing a middleweight debut against Chandler at UFC 302 during International Fight Week. This caught many off guard, and Cormier sees it as McGregor playing mind games with Chandler.
Cormier doesn't hold back, likening Chandler to Pinocchio and McGregor to the puppet master. He believes Chandler is being too compliant and needs to stand his ground. The UFC veteran is critical of the situation and hopes Chandler doesn't become a pawn in McGregor's strategic game.
