When Chael Sonnen touched on Conor McGregor's potential return

UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen once touched on Conor McGregor's potential return to the cage. The Oregon native claimed that 'The Notorious' would be the worst fighter at welterweight or lightweight if he comes back.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Sonnen said:

"There is not an athlete under contract with the UFC that Conor can beat. That's not meant to be mean. The worst, the least experienced 170-pounder would clean him up. If Conor was to come back and enter at 55 or enter at 70, he would be the worst in the entire division. Not because he wasn't great, just 'cause he hasn't been doing it.”
