No

 

[Hellowhosthat]

No I still think most people will think it's Poirier.

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

In rankings yes

In reality no

Everyone knows the fight should have gone to Poirier, and he turned it down. And right now he's the one to beat.

Patricio > UFC

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Patricio Pitbull would have a very strong claim to 'The Best LW' title if Chandler were to win.

I view Bellator as a minor league organization, but you can't ignore Patricio flatlined Chandler in two minutes, made it look like it was a walk in the park.

Probably would also have a very strong P4P claim.

UFC is better and will always be better than B (mostly C) league bellator.


another pathetic Toner agenda thread, yawn.

Funnily enough, if Conor beats Poirier, then Chandler will be #1.

No one thinks Poirier is the best lightweight in the world.

100% of the population believes Khabib Nurmagomedov is the best lightweight of the world, because he simply is.

With Khabib gone, the "next best" is up for grabs.

FWIW, I think Chandler will KO Poirier if and when they meet.

I think Chandler will knock out the proven-quitter Olivera and gain the throne.

I also think Chandler is also the best representative for the division.

if Conor wins in July - yes
if Dustin wins - no

Poirier is the best lightweight in the world. Chandler would have to beat him.

 

[Little Mac]

Probably for marketing.

 

[2sk]

nope,but ufc will surely try to push the narrative

 

[tat2man5k]

Poirier, and then, IMO, Chandler/Pitbull/JG

Khabib is retired, so no.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

No

 

[Deleted member 359865]

Not until he defends and baits khabib out of retirement.

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

No one thinks Poirier is the best lightweight in the world....With Khabib gone....

Yes. Gone. You even said, so I didn't have to.

Don't be obtuse.

Khabib can't be both the best LW in the world and also not be a MMA fighter anymore and retired.

How can you claim Chandler is a better LW than the guy who ended his title reign in Bellator by knocking him unconscious in two minutes; most would say he sent Chandler packing from Bellator.

They were not going to give Chandler a seventh undeserved title shot, they had a champion they were comfortable with and there was no where for Chandler to go but out; as in out of the organization.
