Chael Sonnen believes Conor McGregor is not excited about a UFC comeback after Michael Chandler’s new battle reserving.
McGregor’s ongoing hiatus fuels hypothesis over whether or not or not he’ll return to battle once more. He was presupposed to headline UFC 303 in opposition to Chandler earlier than withdrawing on account of a toe harm.
In current days, Chandler accepted a battle with former UFC light-weight champion Charles Oliveira in November. He elected to take the Oliveira battle following a three-year look forward to McGregor, stemming again to UFC 281.
Whereas Sonnen is intrigued by Chandler vs. Oliveira, he believes McGregor’s UFC comeback try is formally over.
Chael Sonnen provides up on Conor McGregor’s UFC comeback
In a current episode of Good Man/Unhealthy Man, Sonnen gave a bleak outlook on McGregor’s deliberate UFC return.
“I don’t know what to make of Conor. We’re trying silly at this level by persevering with to behave as if he’s going to return again,” Sonnen mentioned of McGregor. “The reality is, the night time he went down damaged in two in opposition to Dustin Poirier, it was unlikely he was going to return. When he received different alternatives. Promoting the whiskey model, and discovering himself in films with Jake Gyllenhaal, it was unlikely that Conor was going to return…
“He received a stubbed pinky toe, that will or is probably not damaged and will or could not belong to him. When he walked away from a press convention in his hometown. And didn’t present as much as [UFC 303], it was unlikely. Even baseball tells you three strikes, you’re out. Sooner or later, all of us have to just accept this and transfer on.”
McGregor’s final battle was in opposition to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, falling by first-round physician’s stoppage. He coached reverse Chandler on The Final Fighter 31.
McGregor vs. Chandler may probably happen subsequent 12 months, no matter UFC 309. In the meantime; Chandler, Sonnen and battle followers all over the world have misplaced hope in one other McGregor battle.
