Daniel Cormier claims Michael Chandler ‘Has to be respected’ for his run in the UFC since 2021 move

Daniel Cormier believes MMA fans need to respect Michael Chandler for what he has accomplished in his career.

Fans have criticized Chandler for holding out for the fight with McGregor which many never come to fruition. Dustin Poirier also recently took aim at Chandler saying he isn’t a UFC fighter like he is, which Cormier disagrees with.

“You can tell that Dustin Poirier takes offense to Michael Chandler almost putting himself on the same level as him and all the guys that have been around the UFC for as long as he has,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel.
