Light weight (up to 70,3kg.) Michael chandler will have his big opportunity in Ultimate, when he faces Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 262 on May 15th. Although he still needs to beat the Brazilian to wear the belt, 'Iron' is already planning his first title defense and is aiming for Dustin poirier e Conor McGregor.

“When I win the title on May 15th, I won’t be the guy who calls the shots. Just look at the rankings and see that the Dustin poirier It's number one now. He chose to accept the fight for the money and passed up the opportunity to fight for the title. So if you win Conor McGregor, is the obvious choice,” said Chandler in an interview with 'MMA Junkie'.
Despite pointing to Dustin poirier as the 'obvious choice', Michael chandler also says he prefers to wait for the trilogy of Diamond against Conor McGregor. The North American, therefore, also does not rule out a confrontation against the Irishman, if he wins the fight.
“So Conor goes out there and runs over Dustin, or even beats Dustin in a dominant fashion, I think that makes him the number one contender. I will be holding the belt and I will be there (next to the octagon) in Las Vegas, excited to see who I will fight”, concluded the American.
After debuting in Ultimate with a knockout against Dan Hooker, Michael chandler has already been confirmed for the vacant lightweight belt fight. In combat, he faces Charles of the Bronx. Currently, the American has a record of 22 wins and five defeats in his career.
