Conor McGregor’s ‘Manipulation’ Exposed While Glaring Mistake by Michael Chandler Brought to Light by Daniel Cormier

Conor McGregor recently took to his Twitter account to announce his return and also revealed the name of his next opponent. McGregor claimed he would fight Michael Chandler at 185 pounds on June 29 during International Fight Week and ended the video with an evil laugh. In a recent Instagram video, Daniel Cormier analyzed the entire situation and had some stern advice for Chandler. 

The entire MMA community has been waiting eagerly for the return of Conor McGregor after it sidelined the Dubliner because of a leg injury he suffered in 2021. However, his latest statement gave the fans something to cheer about. Let us find out what former champion Daniel Cormier has in store for us. 

Daniel Cormier feels McGregor is being the villain in this situation 

McGregor is known not only for his fighting skills but also because of his ability to get under his opponent’s skin. The 35-year-old is among the most sought-after athletes in the MMA, and the fans are eager to see him in action soon. However, there has been no official statement regarding his comeback, and regardless, ‘The Notorious’ has already picked up his opponent. But why did he choose the 185-pound division? 

In his recent Instagram video, Daniel Cormier shared his feelings regarding the situation and said: ” Conor McGregor said he’s back against Michael Chandler at a 185 pounds. We saw him fight Cerrone at 170, Diaz at 170. Wasn’t he the featherweight champ and the lightweight champ. Conor McGregor is as much of a middleweight as Alex Pereira is.Pereira is not a middleweight. He’s a light heavyweight. He weighs 235 pounds. Why is he saying 185? Well, you got to watch the video, and you hear the laugh at the end.

Cormier further goes on about Mystic Mac’s evil ploy, comparing him with  Dr. Evil, and continues, “And that’s what McGregor’s doing. McGregor’s playing the game. McGregor’s being the villain because the villain manipulates. The villain is the puppet master. Michael Chandler refuses to play the bad guy. He should have played the bad guy a little bit in this situation to McGregor and said F..OFF. I’m done with you f….you. But he never did, so now it’s compounded.”

As the fans wait desperately for the two-division champ to return, it will be interesting to see whether ‘The Notorious’ is the same fighter he was a few years back.

The most remarkable comeback ever? 

Conor McGregor would look to return to the Octagon on June 29 and get back to winning ways. The 35-year-old was last seen in action when he took on Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 and lost the fight via knockout. He suffered a severe leg injury, which put him out of action for three years. However, his recent social media posts suggest that McGregor is ready to rule the Octagon.
