For the former fighter and current commentator, although a confrontation with the YouTuber is an interesting opportunity, the Irishman's return to combat sports needs to be in MMA.

“I think he will fight in the octagon. I think he has to do it. To Conor McGregor “He needs to wash away some of the stench of everything that happened outside the Octagon. Where he used to live is inside that cage, and I think at some point he’s going to have to go back there,” he continued.

The 'stench' that Cormier is referring to is, among other issues, the rape conviction that the fighter recently suffered in a civil case. Due to this, the fighter is not at risk of prison and according to Dana White, the case does not seem like it will cause difficulties in his return to the biggest MMA organization in the world.
