UFC 300 will be one of the most monumental events of the UFC, and every athlete wants to be a part of it. Cormier himself featured in the UFC 200, where he faced Anderson Silva and defeated him via unanimous decision. With McGregor being one of the biggest stars in the UFC, it seems he will be a part of UFC 300 and face Michael Chandler on his return.

In his recent YouTube video, Cormier said: “Michael Chandler still wants to fight Conor McGregor. RC, it’s not a surprise that he’s waiting. Everybody would weigh Michael Chandler. So Michael Chandler is a very smart guy. This one here seems a bit uhh there I say you can see through it, right? It’s very, very transparent that he ain’t fighting nobody else if he got the Golden Goose in his lap.”

Later, about when the fight will happen, he said, “UFC 300 I am sure of it I’m sure of it I don’t know it as a fact but he just wants to come back on the biggest fight card that he could be on and UFC 300 is monumental. Like being on one of the like one of the century cards it’s amazing. Jones and I were supposed to headline that and then I still fought Anderson Silva it’s something that I’ll never forget. So I think it will be UFC 300.”

With Cormier very sure of the event happening at UFC 300, it will be interesting to see how the fighters line up for the event. McGregor is coming off a long break from the sport because of an injury, whereas Chandler last fought in November 2022. Will ‘ Iron’ be able to counter the ‘Notorious?
