UFC 303 will finally witness the return of Conor McGregor against Michael Chandler. The pair have been waiting desperately to take on each other for some time now. However, the fight never materialized because of multiple reasons. After waiting patiently for years, the fans will finally witness the much-anticipated fight.

Daniel Cormier and Ben Askren recently sat down to discuss their fight. Both ‘DC’ and Askren shared their opinions about the battle at UFC 303. During the conversation, the former UFC champion pointed out as to why Chandler has not yet received the PPV points from the UFC.

Daniel Cormier feels UFC 303 is all about Conor McGregor

‘Mystic Mac’ is without a doubt one of the biggest superstars in the UFC. He was out of action for more than three years because of his leg injury. However, the wait is finally over as he will be seen at the International Fight Week (June 29). Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier in his recent YouTube video cleared as to why Chandler is not the main attraction in the fight. The 37-year-old is yet to receive his pay-per-view points from the UFC and Cormier has the perfect answer for it.

While speaking to Askren, Cormier said, “I don’t know why would you give pay-per-view points to someone that’s not going to drive the sales. And this not me Hayden on Mike. He’s not driving the sales on this one right.” He further added, “When you fight Conor McGregor Conor’s driving the sales. He’s obviously gonna be a part of the pay-per-view and part of the business. Yes because Mike’s still ranked in the top five or six in the world. So yeah of course he’s compelling. But ultimately this one feels like it’s about McGregor. And part of that reason is because Conor continues to tell you how he’s making all these decisions. And essentially telling Mike we’re doing this we’re doing this. “
