Former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier believes Conor McGregor, if he returns in top form following his leg injury, can defeat Michael Chandler in two rounds at UFC 303. Poirier himself is gearing up to face Islam Makhachev at UFC 302 next month in his quest for the undisputed lightweight title. Despite having suffered a leg injury in a past fight against McGregor, Poirier has triumphed over both McGregor and Chandler.
Poirier is optimistic about McGregor’s potential return against Chandler, foreseeing a victory for McGregor within two rounds if he is in good shape. McGregor has also expressed confidence in defeating Chandler, claiming that Chandler is not at his level. McGregor’s most recent win was in 2020, with a first-round knockout of Donald Cerrone in just 40 seconds at welterweight.
