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 ought to be ranked in any respect.
“I undoubtedly suppose there are folks that undoubtedly don’t belong within the Prime 15, let alongside the Prime 10,” Dawson instructed Inside Preventing. “When you have a look at somebody like Michael Chandler, he is 2-4 within the UFC. Put his report up towards my report. 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 does not make any sense,” Dawson continued. “And then you definitely’ve obtained these guys that, they don’t seem to be trying to struggle 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 in all probability going to be completed if he loses. As quickly as that struggle is over, assuming he loses, get him out of there.”
Dawson sits simply outdoors of the Prime 15 rankings however may arguably be ranked. A win over Ferreira would doubtless be sufficient for him to crack the Prime 15 rankings.
