Daniel Cormier thinks Conor McGregor fighting compromised at UFC 303 would have been too risky.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) pulled out of Saturday’s main event vs. Michael Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas after breaking his pinky toe in training. McGregor was set to return from a three-year layoff after suffering a broken leg in July 2021. “The Notorious” withdrew from a UFC fight for the first time in his career, but Cormier said he has to be more cautious at this point in his career.
“I believe that it’s been so long that he cannot go on with the fight because he has far too much to lose,” Cormier said on “Good Guy/Bad Guy” with Chael Sonnen. “I also hear it’s the toe on the same side as the broken leg.”
