Daniel Cormier urges Michael Chandler to pushback on middleweight fight with Conor McGregor: ‘He’s too easy to play with’

Former two-division champion, Daniel Cormier has urged lightweight contender, Michael Chandler to show some gile and pushback at Conor McGregor’s announcement of a middleweight fight at UFC 302 on June 29. next – claiming the Kill Cliff FC is far to easy to play with for the Dubliner.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in an opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.

As for Chandler, the Missouri veteran’s most recent outing came in the form of a third round rear-naked choke loss to Poirier back in November of last year to boot.
