Former three-time Bellator light-weight champion Michael Chandler has gone 2-4 within the UFC since his arrival in 2021. His two wins are over Tony Ferguson and Dan Hooker. His losses are to former champion Charles Oliveira (twice), Justin Geathje and Dustin Poirier.
Chandler is ranked No. 7 within the UFC’s 155-pound division however rising light-weight Grant Dawson would not assume Chandler ought to be ranked in any respect.
“I undoubtedly assume there are people who undoubtedly don’t belong within the Prime 15, let alongside the Prime 10,” Dawson informed Inside Combating. “For those who take a look at somebody like Michael Chandler, he is 2-4 within the UFC. Put his document up in opposition to my document. I am 11-1 within the UFC, assuming I beat Diego Ferreira (at UFC 311 on Jan. 18). 11-1 within the UFC in comparison with 2-4 within the UFC.
“And also you say, ‘Yeah, the 11-1 man not ranked. The two-4 man ranked within the Prime 10, Prime 7. It would not make any sense,” Dawson continued. “And then you definitely’ve bought these guys that, they don’t seem to be seeking to battle the up and comers. They should take Michael Chandler out of there. If Beneil Dariush loses (to Renato Moicano at UFC 311), he stated that he is most likely going to be performed if he loses. As quickly as that battle is over, assuming he loses, get him out of there.”
Dawson sits simply exterior of the Prime 15 rankings however might arguably be ranked. A win over Ferreira would possible be sufficient for him to crack the Prime 15 rankings.
