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 undoubtedly suppose there are those who undoubtedly don’t belong within the High 15, let alongside the High 10,” Dawson advised Inside Preventing. “If you happen to take a look at somebody like Michael Chandler, he is 2-4 within the UFC. Put his document up towards 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 High 10, High 7. It does not make any sense,” Dawson continued. “And then you definitely’ve obtained 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 mentioned that he is most likely going to be executed if he loses. As quickly as that battle is over, assuming he loses, get him out of there.”
Dawson sits simply outdoors of the High 15 rankings however might arguably be ranked. A win over Ferreira would seemingly be sufficient for him to crack the High 15 rankings.
