Executioner of Conor McGregor e Michael chandler, stars in the new edition of 'The Ultimate Fighter' (TUF), Dustin poirier pointed out the favorite for the eventual confrontation between his 'victims'. In an interview with 'The MMA Hour', the former interim lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg) indicated who should win the clash between coaches. The fight remains without a date confirmed by the UFC.

“If he (Conor) returns similar to what he once was, I believe he will go through Michael chandler. If Conor is still what he was before the injury, I think he wins in two rounds. The fight will end in two rounds,” said Poirier.
