UFC lightweight title contender Michael Chandler believes he and Dustin Poirier should next fight for the belt. In a perfect world, current champ Khabib Nurmagomedov will be down the road.
Chandler on Wednesday told Jim Rome a matchup with Poirier “is definitely a fight that interests me” after a near-miss at UFC 254, where he served as a backup fighter after Poirier balked at the payday offered to fight the former Bellator champ.
Chandler made a huge splash in his UFC 257 octagon debut and used his victory speech to cut a promo on Nurmagomedov.
