Dustin Poirier recently made some interesting comments regarding UFC lightweight Michael Chandler. Chandler was never going to let that slide and recently clapped back at the former title challenger.

The comments came from a recent Dustin Poirier interview where the UFC star was asked about Michael Chandler. The former title challenger did not mince his words on a potential matchup.

“I’m a dangerous fight for him,” UFC lightweight Poirier said on THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas (h/t MMA Junkie). “I think I’m a clean puncher, accurate. He called out Conor. I think Conor is a dangerous fight for him, too. I’m not saying Chandler’s chinny or anything, but he gets hurt in a lot of his fights, and guys like Conor, they can punch. If you’re getting hurt by Tony Ferguson and dropped by [Charles] Oliveira, guys like me, guys like Conor, if we touch your chin, it’s gonna be bad.

“That’s the reason he gets hurt in these fights, because you can’t have an offense and a defense, and he’s all offense,” the UFC fighter added. “Jumping forward, lunging forward, and you know what they say, when your feet leave the ground in boxing, you get carried out. Jumping around, throwing punches in the air, you can’t pivot, you can’t move, you’ll run into big shots. You jump in, you get carried out.”

Michael Chandler made sure to keep his reply short and sweet whilst firing back at Dustin Poirier. The UFC lightweight did not hold back.

“I heard what you said,” UFC lightweight Chandler said in an Instagram story (h/t Twitter: @funkysorcerer). “Nobody gives a rip about your wannabe, ‘don’t make sense lost your shine so you’re trying to steal everybody else’s shine’ backdoor MMA math. Zip it.”
