Why retire after one fight? Stop being a b*tch arse. Fight a
contract out.”

Dustin
Poirier believes Michael
Chandler will end Paddy
Pimblett’s winning streak at UFC
314.

Chandler will look to return to the win column in a lightweight
clash against Pimblett at UFC 314 on April 12 at the Kaseya Center
in Miami, Florida. Both Chandler and Pimblett have opened at nearly
even odds on most sportsbooks. And Poirier advises bettors to wager
heavy on former opponent Chandler for easy money.

“Even though he’s a bitch, Chandler all day go heavy on the money,”
Poirier wrote on X.

Chandler suffered a submission loss against Poirier at UFC 281 in
November 2022. He then spent the better part of two years waiting
for a Conor
McGregor matchup before finally returning against Charles
Oliveira at UFC 309 this past November. “Iron” suffered a
unanimous decision loss, his second against “Do Bronx,” making him
2-4 in the UFC.

Meanwhile, Pimblett is 6-0 in the UFC with four finishes. His most
recent victory came against Bobby Green
at UFC 304 in Jul, 2024. Pimblett recently teased a matchup against
Poirier, who instantly denied the rumours. Poirier hinted that his
next fight could be his last one in a “legends only” matchup.
Former UFC lightweight Nate Diaz
accused Poirier of ducking “The Baddy.”

Pimblett was happy with Diaz’s comments but doesn’t feel
disrespected by Poirier for dismissing him from the league of
legends. While Pimblett understands Poirier could earn more money
by fighting a bigger name, he urges the Louisiana native to
continue fighting past his next bout.

“Nate putting up, ‘Fight paddy you p—y, he’d beat you’ – legendary
s—t. You know everyone loves Nate Diaz,”
Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. “I don’t feel disrespected. I
understand what he’s saying, ‘Legends only.’ I’m not a legend. And
he could earn more money on a pay-per-view fighting someone else,
but why would he retire after one fight lad? Stop being a b—h a—e…
Fight your contract out, have a few fights.”
