Chandler looks behind Poirier and wants a championship fight

Former UFC Lightweight Championship Contender Michael Chandler stated that after winning the battle with Dustin Poirier, he will definitely meet in the octagon with the winner of the Oliveira-Makhachev pair.

“I think I will finish Poirier and be next in line for the title. I will fight Makhachev or Oliveira in the first quarter of next year or in the summer. I have no doubt that this will be the case. At the most in the middle of next year, I will become the new champion,” said Chandler.

The confrontation between Chandler and Poirier will take place on November 12 in New York. As for the Oliveira-Makhachev fight, it will take place on October 22.
