"I think that Justin gaethje is, without a doubt, the number one challenger. He just defeated me. The way in which Islam makhachev dispatched Dan Hooker it was phenomenal. Is this worth a title fight? It’s not even close to what Justin did,” Chandler said.

While hoping that his last opponent will compete for the lightweight title, Michael says he has no doubt that Justin could overcome the current champion. According to the former Bellator, Charles of the Bronx would join the list of victims of the former interim champion of the group.

"I think that Justin gaethje would run over Charles Oliveira (From the Bronx). I think (Dustin) Poirier will win that fight (against Charles, in the UFC 269), because it has more tools. He will not be finished by Oliveira. Justin gaethje evolved, remembering how he lost to Dustin poirier a few years ago and I think he will win the belt in the middle of next year”, he concluded.
