quote:pump the brakes. Masvidal Covington I think is the biggest fight in the division. Although WW is stacked and has a lot of great fighters.
Burns/Usman is THE fight in the division.
Btw great interview with Colby here to understand the mindset of a top level fighter

Also I think poirier made a misstep when he flat out declined to fight chandler. Dana loves a guy that steps up and chandler has stepped up to be the backup, stepped up and knocked out a top 5 opponent in great fashion, and also stepped up to take a fight if ufc made the deal for 258(which they couldn’t). We will see how it plays out but if he refuses Dana won’t frick around with him I promise that. While chandler hasn’t been in the ufc, he has looked good and fought well against top level guys, not to mention knocked out hooker when poirier couldn’t.

This isn’t a scheduled fight yet. Both lost to Usman. Masvidal didn’t have much time to his credit.
ETA: Poirier beat Hooker, Chandler beat Hooker. He shouldn’t be able to skip the line. Dustin knows he’s the top dog now. These guys don’t get paid well unless they get to top tier. Don’t blame him a bit for not immediately trying to fight a guy who has 1 win in the UFC(No knock on Chandler. I could see him holding the belt) against someone he beat himself already. Poirier vs Oliveira for the belt is best for the division. Let Chandler face Gaethje. Conor vs Tony, or Conor vs Nate, but I could see Nate waiting on that one. I don’t know. It’ll be fun to see how it shakes out, but I want to see Nate fighting ASAP. With him you have a good fight no matter what.

Disagree completely. Very rarely should a fight be considered bigger than a title fight.. usman/Burns should be electric
