UFC legend Daniel Cormier expects Conor McGregor will forgo a trilogy bout with Nate Diaz to instead face Michael Chandler in his octagon return.
The former two-weight world champion has designs on winning a third belt at welterweight, but could end up taking on lightweight contender Chandler when he finally steps back into the octagon. For his part, the ex-Bellator star has said that he would be willing to move up to face McGregor in what would be the biggest fight of his career.
Chandler made an exceptional callout of McGregor during his post-fight interview after viciously knocking out Tony Ferguson, and the Irishman seems receptive to the possibility of the fight. Now, Cormier believes that he will get his shot at the sport's biggest star once McGregor's broken leg has healed.
