If Dustin Poirier fights Charles Oliveira for the vacant UFC lightweight title, Joe Rogan thinks Conor McGregor could return to the cage against Michael Chandler.
Chandler impressed in his octagon debut with a stunning highlight reel KO of Dan Hooker in the UFC 257 co-main event while McGregor lost via second-round TKO to Poirier in the main event.
While McGregor entered the Poirier bout as a favorite, Rogan believes ‘The Notorious’ would be the betting underdog against Chandler, who is a former three-time Bellator lightweight champ.
“The purist option is Charles Oliveira,” Rogan told Brendan Schaub on a recent episode of JRE when asked about Poirier’s next opponent (h/t Jesse Holland of MMA Mania).
