MMA analyst Chael Sonnen has insisted Conor McGregor needs to be talked out of his "arrogant" decision to move up to middleweight.
McGregor, 34, is hoping to become just the third UFC fighter to compete in four weight classes by moving up to 185lb having previously competed at featherweight, lightweight and welterweight. The Irishman has insisted he would be "built like a big fridge" at the weight class and gained confidence in the move after sparring middleweights and light-heavyweights.
But Sonnen thinks McGregor needs a reality check from those around him and isn't sure the move up in weight would go well for him. "Conor says he's going to up middleweight, we all have a reality that we have to face at one point as to why you should spend your time and effort going in a different direction," he said on his YouTube channel.
