UFC legend Chael Sonnen has warned Conor McGregor he can't "play" in his return to the octagon after two years out of action later this year.
The former two-weight world champion has begun to tease fans with the possibility that he will mark his return by coaching on The Ultimate Fighter, likely against Tony Ferguson. He has been out of action for two years since suffering a broken leg at the hands of Dustin Poirier in 2021, but appears to be back to full health as he looks to make a comeback at welterweight.
And Sonnen, who himself fought for world titles at two weight classes in the UFC, believes that McGregor must understand the dangers of his return before committing to anything. His comments followed those of the Irishman's coach John Kavanagh who this week indicated that he will be back this year.
