Michael Chandler recently went after Dustin Poirier while talking about his quick rise in the UFC. The former Bellator champion admits he had beef with Poirier that stemmed from his signing with the organization.
Dustin Poirier had the opportunity to fire back at Michael Chandler and he did not back. He pointed out the rough start to his UFC career and didn't hold back.
“For sure, yeah. He’s never beaten anybody coming off a win in the UFC,” Poirier said on The MMA Hour. “He’s been dropped in his last three fights. He’s never beat somebody coming off a win. What are Dan Hooker’s last five fights and what are Tony Ferguson’s last five fights? The two guys he beat in the UFC. What are their records in their last fights? I’m not talking trash, I’m stating facts. It’s whatever, bro. I’ll fight him, too. I don’t care anymore. Just book me something. Somebody’s gonna get sparked out, let’s go.”
Michael Chandler also said he forgot about Dustin Poirier while talking about future opponents in the UFC. Poirier didn't appreciate the comments and went off on him.
“You think the guy forgot about me? The route to the title shot?” Poirier said. “Charles is still No. 1, the champion. I’m No. 1 [contender in the rankings], you know? And who’s a draw? Bro, I’m not that guy to point out and pick on people and do this and stuff like that, but if we go to the numbers which don’t lie, you were supporting cast in the last pay-per-view you fought on with two title fights. Look at the numbers. What did we (Oliveira and Poirier at UFC 269) sell? Six-something? What did they sell? Over 400 [thousand]? Who’s a draw? I don’t know, I don’t play that because I don’t really care but don’t say stuff that you can find out the numbers and see whose watching more.”
