NEW YORK – Michael Chandler won’t set sights on a potential rematch with Dustin Poirier. Chandler’s most recent outing came in a submission loss to Poirier in at UFC 281 in November 2022. Poirier was unhappy with Chandler’s antics during the fight and accused him of being a dirty competitor.

If either Charles Oliveira or Michael Chandler falls out of UFC 309, Dustin Poirier is seemingly ready to step up and fight.

After four rounds of sustained dominance over Michael Chandler in their rematch on Saturday at UFC 309, former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira survived a furious rally in the fifth and final round to put himself in premier position to secure a second shot at the 155-pound title.
