For Chael Sonnen, he believes the extra 15-pounds is actually a disadvantage for the Irishman. He thinks it will be tough for McGregor to knock out Cerrone at that weight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8Mid6P\">\u201cWe learned something [from the Diaz fight] that Conor, from his own admittance, some of his shots and some of that power and effectiveness, isn\u2019t the same at 170 lbs,\u201d Chael Sonnen said on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I27YH-FRfWU&amp;feature=emb_title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube channel<\/a>. \u201cThis fight got a lot more interesting with those 15 lbs. The likelyhood of &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Cerrone getting knocked out at 170 drops tremendously.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8mh7aT\">\u201cNow, if you\u2019re a Conor supporter, I have to ask, if Conor can\u2019t knock him out, how does Conor beat him? You\u2019re not left with a lot of options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chael Sonnen believes this fight is at welterweight for a specific reason. That is because, after this, Conor McGregor wants to fight Jorge Masvidal. So, he is out to prove <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/conor-mcgregor-pissed-off-that-dana-white-said-jorge-masvidal-is-too-big-for-him\/\">he is big enough to fight at 170-pounds, despite what Dana White said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"tyG5lE\">&#8220;[Dana White] quickly said &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/dana-white-emphatically-shuts-down-conor-mcgregor-vs-jorge-masvidal-matchup\/\">no Masvidal is too big for him<\/a>.&#8217; I told you guys 20 minutes after that statement was made that was not going to sit well with Conor,&#8221; Chael Sonnen explained. &#8220;[White] told you three days after that he\u2019d already been getting calls from Conor because that statement did not sit well with Conor. Now you\u2019ve got the return of Conor at 170 pounds. Mark my words, he\u2019s coming after Jorge Masvidal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For that fight to happen, Conor McGregor will need to beat Donald Cerrone on Jan. 18.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Chael Sonnen that Conor McGregor is looking at fighting Jorge Masvidal next?
