Yes, Conor McGregor is the UFC's biggest draw, but Daniel Cormier isn't sure that he deserves to headline a milestone event.
, his six-month period of mandatory testing could make him eligible to compete in April – right around the time of the UFC’s milestone 300th show.
McGregor is undoubtedly the promotion’s biggest star and highest-selling draw. Cormier finds it hard to believe that McGregor’s expected fight with Michael Chandler wouldn’t headline UFC 300, but would it headline over championship fights? “People in the general public are so excited about Conor McGregor coming back, and I got to be honest with you: I feel like a lot of the hardcore fans are a little fed up with it,” Cormier said on his ESPN show“They just want to see him back. They’re tired of he’s back, he’s gone, he’s back. They want Conor McGregor back, and they want him back in a manner in which he’s consistent and he’s fighting frequently. But I don’t know if that’s going to be the case with Conor anymore.
“Does Conor McGregor top all those title fights and headline? And if he doesn’t, how do you have a conversation with Conor about him not being in the headlining seat when most of the people who will tune in will be watching Conor? But when you watch Conor’s fights, he has been on a bit of a downturn. He has not won many fights, but I think that speaks to the star power that he possesses.
“Every single time Conor has tweeted, every single time Conor has teased that he’s coming back, every single time they’ve watched ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ every time they see me out here training, keeping my nose to the grindstone knowing that Conor is up against one of the toughest tests he’s had in his entire career, if not the toughest test, especially coming off of a two-year layoff, this fight has all the makings of fireworks.
