Michael Chandler thinks Dustin Poirier should sit out and wait for Conor McGregor to recovery from his leg injury instead of moving on to fight Charles Oliveira for the undisputed lightweight title.
‘The Diamond’ squared off against McGregor for the third time at UFC 264 last month. Unfortunately, the fight came to an inconclusive end when ‘Notorious’ suffered a nasty leg break just before the first frame came to a close.
The former dual-weight UFC champion is currently healing up after undergoing surgery to repair his fractured tibia and fibula. McGregor is not expected to return to fighting before the summer of 2022.
In the meantime, Poirier is expected to be the first challenger to the new lightweight king. Oliveira picked up the 155lb title recently vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 263. ‘Do Bronx’ survived a tough first round before stopping Chandler early in round two.
During a recent interview with Helen Yee, the former Bellator champion explained why Poirier should sit out rather than try to realize his dreams of becoming a true UFC champion.
“If I’m Dustin Poirier I’m just waiting for Conor 4, you know? I am,” Chandler said. “This was an interesting hot take that I actually heard Jesse ON FIRE talking about that if Poirier goes and wins the title, can Conor come right back and fight Poirier if he has the title? Crazier things have happened.”
“But if I’m Poirier I’m waiting out and waiting for Conor 4, especially after he said numerous things about my wife and my kids and killing me, all that kind of stuff,” Chandler added. “But I also know, and this is a testament to Poirier as a competitor, he wants to win the ultimate prize in mixed martial arts. He’s been an interim champion, but he hasn’t been a full-fledged 100% undisputed champion. So I think the competitor in him will go fight Charles Oliveira, but there’s a part of me that says he may as well just wait out and get the big money fight in Conor.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)

Justin Gaethje doesn’t believe UFC 268 will take place at the Madison Square Garden in New York as is currently planned.
Last week, it was announced that a long-talked-about fight between Gaethje and Michael Chandler is set to take place at UFC 268.
Unfortunately, the exciting lightweight match-up already seems to be in jeopardy. New York has recently introduced a new mandate that will require people to prove they are vaccinated against COVID-19 before attending entertainment events.
Chandler is already on the record as saying he will not be vaccinated against the virus before November 6, throwing the potential title eliminator into doubt.
‘The Highlight’ discussed his upcoming fight during the UFC 265 Weigh-In Show. Gaethje believes the recently announced New York mandates will force the pay-per-view event to be relocated.
“I don’t think it’ll be in New York City. I think it’ll be in probably Texas or something, somewhere way sweeter than New York City. New York City sucks. Anywhere outside of that place, and we’ll be good to go.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)
Gaethje hasn’t been seen inside the Octagon since October 2020. The 32-year-old fell short in his bid to unify the division against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254. Gaethje ended up being choked unconscious in the second round. The loss to Khabib snapped Gaethje’s four-fight winning streak.
Chandler is coming off an unsuccessful title bid of his own. The former Bellator champion fell to a second-round TKO defeat at the hands of Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 262. Before that, he made an impressive start to his UFC career by quickly stopping Dan Hooker at UFC 257.
The UFC and Dana White are yet to make any official statement on the status of their planned return to New York.
