Dustin Poirier has fired back at Michael Chandler during their latest exchange on social media.Â
Poirier is looking for his next opponent after his loss against Islam Makhachev at UFC 302. The Diamond suffered a fifth-round submission loss, missing out on the UFC Lightweight Title. Meanwhile, Chandler also suffered a loss in his last fight against Charles Oliveira at UFC 309. Dana White has said talks are underway for Poirier’s next fight. Chandler has been linked with that fight. They faced off in 2022 at UFC 281, where Poirier came out victorious.
A rematch was mentioned after Chandler suggested Poirier should retire. Dustin has said he wants to fight in his hometown of Louisiana before he retires. Chandler rekindled the feud after sharing a clip of Michael Johnson dropping Poirier with a right hook. Chandler was reacting to Johnson’s win at a UFC Fight Night event in Tampa against Ottman Azaitar. Dustin reminded Chandler he had already beaten him.
Best right hook in UFC HISTORY. Never forget this one. #UFCTampa pic.twitter.com/CIQsLGSoIj
