Daniel Cormier says Conor McGregor and Charles Oliveira could be in the UFC title fight.

DANIEL CORMIER acknowledged that Conor McGregor follows 'different rules' and could be given an immediate shot at Charles Oliveira.

This is despite McGregor losing his last four fights in the UFC, most recently against Dustin Poirier twice.

The first was a rematch from their 2014 featherweight fight which Poirier lost. However, Poirier won by knockout seven year later.

McGregor suffered further injury in the third round, breaking his tibia. He was also stopped by a doctor.

Since then, the Irishman has been in recovery and, upon his return to training, he called out lightweight champion Oliveira.

The Brazilian is also aboard, so McGregor could be able to walk into a title fight right after his comeback.

The Schmo was told by retired Cormier, 42: "Honestly, I believe there are different rules regarding Connor.

It may not be liked by everyone. It may be a problem. If he's healthy, if he starts to chirp and Oliveira is chirping back at his body and there's fan interest, I can see it happening.

It would upset so many people. It comes down to dollars and cents, but ultimately it all boils down to man.

McGregor won UFC gold last year, making him the first fighter to rule over both divisions.

He surpassed Eddie Alvarez (38), as the featherweight king who added the lightweight straps to his collection.

McGregor, 33 years old, was stripped of both, but he failed to defend either.

It was inherited from Khabib Nurmagmedov (33), who famously protected it against McGregor in 2018.

After the death of his father, Khabib, 32, retired and Oliveira (32) won the vacant belt.

Then he defended it in December. He beat Poirier (32), by submission in round three.
