As usual, there have been several developments in the world of MMA. However, fans often miss out on the most significant events due to the paucity of time and strenuous daily schedules. Nevertheless, we’re back with another edition of the daily roundup to keep you up-to-date with the key happenings over the last 24 hours.

First of all, we will start with Daniel Cormier, who believes Conor McGregor could consider fighting Nate Diaz instead of Michael Chandler. Then we will turn our attention to Khamzat Chimaev, who provided an update regarding his next fight. Finally, we will sum up the daily news compilation with Mike Perry, who issued a callout to Jake Paul.

Will Conor McGregor consider fighting Nate Diaz on his return?

5th-ranked lightweight contender Michael Chandler has been touted as the opponent for Conor McGregor when the Irishman makes his comeback. However, there has been no official announcement about the fight yet, with Dana White even acting unsure of the former double champion’s announcement about the return in June. Meanwhile, Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier believes that there’s something else waiting for McGregor. He could be fighting his former rival, Nate Diaz.

“If McGregor fights Diaz, that is what I believe draws the general fan in as much as anything that they could do in the UFC right now,” said Daniel Cormier. Claiming that the two fights Conor McGregor had against Nate Diaz saw record numbers, ‘DC’ believes that there’s no bigger fight than these in all of MMA at the moment.
