Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler have been recently firing shots at each other and a potential fight is looming. It is not clear what the UFC is looking to do with the two lightweights going forward.
Michael Chandler recently claimed he forgot about Dustin Poirier but the UFC star doesn't believe that for a minute. Poirier didn't hold back when addressing those comments recently.
“Just like when he grabbed the mic after he won, if you really believe these guys, the stuff they’re saying is real, you’re out of your mind,” Poirier said on The MMA Hour. “You think the guy forgot about me? The route to the title shot — Charles is still the champion, I’m No. 1.”
“And who is a draw? 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 that you fought on,” Poirier said. “… Look at the numbers. What did we sell, six [hundred thousand pay-per-view buys]? What did they sell, over four [hundred thousand pay-per-view buys]? Who is a draw? I don’t know, I don’t play that shit because I don’t really care, but don’t say stuff that you can find out the numbers and see who is watching more.”
Dustin Poirier also went on to trash Michael Chandler's short run in the UFC and pointed out his shortcomings. The Louisiana native has not been impressed by his wins so far.
“He came in — he’s never beaten anybody coming off of a win in the UFC!” Poirier said. “He’s been dropped in his last three fights, he’s never beat somebody coming off of 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? And I’m not talking trash, I’m stating facts. It’s whatever, I’ll fight him too. I don’t care anymore, just book me something.”
