UFC and Mixed Martial Arts legend Chuck Liddell recently spoke to TMZ Sports ahead of UFC 246 tonight. The Light Heavyweight megastar discussed the main event bout on tonight’s card between Conor McGregor and David Cerrone. Liddell even made his predictions for the return of the Irish superstar McGregor, who is fighting for the first time since his loss to Khabib.
“I think if ‘Cowboy’ can come out and convince him he’s going to take him down, get after him, and get him guessing whether or not they’re going to go up or down, I think ‘Cowboy’ can do it,” Liddell told TMZ Sports (shown above).
“If he lets Conor get comfortable out there and firing at will he might run into trouble.”
When asked who Liddell wants to win the McGregor vs. Cerrone matchup “Iceman” did not mince his words.
“He’s always going to be tough. He’s always going to be a tough striker,” Liddel said of McGregor. “But people have that question whether or not he’s been struggling with some issues lately. Is he really back? As strong as he was?”
Liddell finished by saying “I’m a big fan of ‘Cowboy.’ I’m hoping he comes out with the win.”
