Chael Sonnen CHALLENGES Francis Ngannou, Conor vs Max Bold Prediction, Advice for Dustin Poirier
"There is no scenario where Conor McGregor will leave his stool for the fourth round. Now, I don't give you a prediction that this won't happen. I'm going further. And I'm telling you from a human anatomy standpoint, it can't happen. He cannot has not with that fracture had enough time to train to come to this weight class after this layoff and see championship rounds."
Chael Sonnen made an emphatic prediction that Conor McGregor cannot physically complete a five-round fight against Max Holloway, stating it's anatomically impossible given his compound fracture recovery, six-year layoff, and weight class change. Sonnen noted McGregor must accomplish three unprecedented feats: return from compound fracture successfully, compete at a higher weight class than his prime, and go five rounds after extended absence.
