Chandler is set to face Charles Oliveira in a lightweight title fight at UFC 262 in May, while Poirier will compete in his trilogy fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 264 in July.
In an interview with The Schmo, Michael Chandler provided his opinion on Dustin Poirier’s recent comments against him. The Schmo referenced Poirier’s recent tweets, wherein the latter had used the phrase “fool’s gold” in relation to the Chandler-Oliveira title fight.
The Schmo proceeded to ask Chandler whether he’d like to face the winner of Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor or perhaps Justin Gaethje. Chandler responded by stating:
Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier could be on a collision course
Michael Chandler insinuated that Dustin Poirier and a few other fighters who believe he hasn’t done enough to earn a UFC lightweight title shot are possibly jealous of him.
Should Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier win their respective fights later this year, the two lightweight stars could collide with the UFC lightweight title at stake.
