Chael Sonnen gets honest about Conor McGregor's stature in the UFC lightweight and welterweight divisions
Conor McGregor has not stepped inside the UFC octagon since his last fight against Dustin Poirier in 2021. He was set to face Michael Chandler last year, but an injury changed things, and the Irishman has yet to return to fight again.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Chael Sonnen expressed his belief that 'The Notorious' is going to have a tough time against any current UFC lightweight and welterweight fighter, saying:
"There is not an athlete under contract with the UFC that Conor [McGregor] can beat. That's not meant to be mean. The worst, the least experienced 155-pounder, would clean him up. 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."
