Daniel Cormier Suggests New Title Bout for Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler
Daniel Cormier advocates for creating a ‘Super-Lightweight’ division with a weight limit of 165 pounds, proposing that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler should contend for the title at UFC303. Cormier believed the new division should have a name that captures widespread interest. He said, “I believe that if they’re going to do a 165 lb division, it should have a name attached to the weight class that is so big that it draws people’s attention,” he also added, “Let’s call it super lightweight division,”
Michael Chandler recently voiced his aspiration for a UFC championship opportunity against Conor McGregor in their upcoming summer showdown. While acknowledging the possibility of changes leading up to the fight, including establishing a new weight division, Chandler insists that their bout “should be for a belt.” He remains open to the idea of competing for the 165-pound title. Daniel Cormier’s proposal for the 165-pound weight class adds weight to this discussion.
Despite McGregor’s recent inactivity, he is UFC’s most iconic and accomplished figure. While it remains uncertain whether the UFC will introduce a new belt or establish a new division, the excitement for McGregor’s eagerly awaited comeback as “Mystic Mac” grows with each passing day. Be sure not to overlook UFC 303: McGregor vs Chandler, set to occur during International Fight Week at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 29, 2024.
