"Conor McGregor Confirms June Comeback Against Michael Chandler Amid Mixed Reactions"

Daniel Cormier has expressed his belief that the upcoming fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler will take place at 185 pounds, despite both fighters being new to the middleweight division. Cormier, speaking on his ESPN show, suggested that McGregor is dictating the terms of the fight, including the unusual weight class, and criticized Chandler for not pushing back against McGregor's demands. Chandler, on the other hand, has publicly welcomed the challenge, indicating his readiness to fight McGregor at his "biggest, baddest and best." Cormier's comments reflect his concern that Chandler is being too compliant in the pre-fight negotiations, likening him to "Pinocchio" with McGregor as the "puppetmaster."
