Grant Dawson: 'Michael Chandler doesn't | MMA News
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 does not suppose Chandler must be ranked in any respect.
“I definitely think there are people that definitely do not belong in the Top 15, let along the Top 10,” Dawson instructed Inside Fighting. “If you look at someone like Michael Chandler, he’s 2-4 in the UFC. Put his record up against my record. I’m 11-1 in the UFC, assuming I beat Diego Ferreira (at UFC 311 on Jan. 18). 11-1 in the UFC compared to 2-4 in the UFC.
“And you say, ‘Yeah, the 11-1 man not ranked. The 2-4 man ranked within the Top 10, Top 7. It does not make any sense,” Dawson continued. “And then you definately’ve received these guys that, they don’t seem to be seeking to combat the up and comers. They need to take Michael Chandler out of there. If Beneil Dariush loses (to Renato Moicano at UFC 311), he mentioned that he is in all probability going to be accomplished if he loses. As quickly as that combat is over, assuming he loses, get him out of there.”
Dawson sits simply outdoors of the Top 15 rankings however may arguably be ranked. A win over Ferreira would doubtless be enough for him to crack the Top 15 rankings.
