Dustin
Poirier is concerned for Michael
Chandler.

Poirier has openly expressed his dislike for Chandler previously,
which ramped up in the aftermath of their 2022 clash in the

Ultimate Fighting Championship. „The Diamond“ slammed the
former Bellator
champion for the repeated use of illegal moves like fish-hooking.
While they’ve since buried the hatchet, Poirier wants to see
Chandler hang up the gloves.

Michael Chandler’s UFC future questioned by former rival Dustin
Poirier

Chandler is 2-6 in the UFC, with wins over Dan Hooker
and Tony
Ferguson, and his last victory came all the way back in 2022.
He is on a four-fight skid and recently teased a move up to
welterweight following a first-round knockout loss against Mauricio
Ruffy at
UFC Freedom 250.

Poirier believes moving up a weight class is a terrible idea for
Chandler considering the damage he is already taking at
lightweight.

“With all due respect, we’ve buried the hatchet and shook hands,
but Michael Chandler, what are you doing?” Poirier said on the „Deep Waters“ podcast. “No, I’m just jumping back in about
retirement. That just came to my mind, and he definitely should
retire. I saw a thing say — I don’t know if this is, like,
official news — but he said he might move up to welterweight. If
155ers are stopping you and, you know, you’re taking all this
damage, what do you think 170 is going to do?”
