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 assume Chandler must be ranked in any respect.
“I positively assume there are those that positively don’t belong within the High 15, let alongside the High 10,” Dawson informed Inside Combating. “In the event you take a look at somebody like Michael Chandler, he is 2-4 within the UFC. Put his document up in opposition to 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 definately’ve bought these guys that, they are not trying to combat 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 most likely going to be completed if he loses. As quickly as that combat is over, assuming he loses, get him out of there.”
Dawson sits simply outdoors of the High 15 rankings however may arguably be ranked. A win over Ferreira would possible be sufficient for him to crack the High 15 rankings.
