#3 Daniel Cormier offers advice to Michael Chandler following canceled Conor McGregor bout
Daniel Cormier recently weighed in on the drama surrounding Michael Chandler's canceled bout against Conor McGregor.
Chandler vs. McGregor was originally set to headline UFC 303 later this month, however, it was confirmed this week that the fight was off due to the Irishman suffering an injury during his fight camp.
The cancellation now means Chandler, who has been calling to face 'The Notorious' since 2022, will once again be on the sidelines whilst he awaits for the bout to be recheduled.
'DC' took to his YouTube channel to offer his take on the situation, which included the Hall of Famer offering some advice to Chandler. According to Cormier, he would like to see the 38-year-old move on from wanting to face McGregor. He said:
"I don't know that he should wait anymore. I think it's time to move off of this, and I believe that the overwhelming sentiment is that [McGregor] is done."
