DANIEL CORMIER has predicted a huge headliner for UFC 300. <\/p>\n
The marquee event does not yet have a date or location confirmed, building to speculation it could be topped by the returning Conor McGregor. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
UFC 100 in 2010 featured Brock Lesnar and Georges St-Pirre, selling a then record 1.6million pay-per-views. <\/p>\n
Then six years later, Lesnar, 46, made a shock return after five years out to feature on UFC 200. <\/p>\n
Cormier also fought that night against Anderson Silva, 48, after Jon Jones, 36, was taken off the event due to a failed drug test. <\/p>\n
Now DC believes McGregor, 35, will headline UFC 300 against Michael Chandler, 37.<\/p>\n
Cormier, 44, said on his ESPN show: UFC 100 had Brock, right? With Georges St-Pierre and all those guys. <\/p>\n "UFC 200 had Brock, it was supposed to me and Jones also but it ended up being me, Anderson Silva, Brock, all these guys, big names. <\/p>\n "UFC 300 has to have a name like that. We don't have Brock Lesnar anymore. <\/p>\n "So, I think you have to have a Conor McGregor versus Michael Chandler. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "I think Michael Chandler gets his shot now, in the main event. Boy, Michael Chandler will headline UFC 300, how crazy is that?"<\/p>\n Cormier also believes the welterweight title, which Leon Edwards defends against Colby Covington in December, will be on the late at UFC 300. <\/p>\n And so too will the interim belt Tom Aspinall, 30, won after Jones and Stipe Miocic's fight for the full belt was postponed. <\/p>\n Cormier said: "Co-main event, when I look down the line, I know that Jones and Stipe will not be ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n "I do believe that whoever wins the belt this weekend will have to fight again. <\/p>\n "Leon Edwards or Colby Covington will then be available again, right? Because they fight in December. I believe it'll be one of them if not both.\u00a0<\/p>\n "The interim heavyweight champion and then the welterweight champion will also fight at UFC 300."<\/p>\n<\/picture>HOT WHEELS <\/span><\/p>\n
