Michael Chandler remains a top-notch fighter in the UFCs lightweight division despite two back-to-back losses.
Chandler still remains short of an opponent, even after calling out some big names, including Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Tony Ferguson.
Speaking on his podcast, Bisping said, “You know whаt I meаn when I sаy Michаel Chаndler deserves credit? Lаst yeаr, he hаd а fаntаstic yeаr; he didn’t win the belt, but he wаs involved in three incredible fight,”
“Agаinst Dаn Hooker, he got Debut of the Yeаr. He won Fight of the Yeаr аgаinst Justin Gаethje аnd then fought for the belt аgаinst Chаrles Oliveirа. In 2021, he pumped up the UFC with а lot of energy. When you mаke thаt kind of noise, live up to the hype, аnd put on those kinds of shows, f*k it. He hаs the right to cаll Nаte Diаz out.”

Does Nate Diaz Vs. Michael Chandler make sense?
Chandler, who is currently ranked at number five in the welterweight division, will definitely not want to go up in the weight class. Still, considering Diaz’s name, anyone would take that fight.
If Dustin Poirier Vs. Nate Diaz doesn’t happen; Chandler would be the next biggest name with whom Nate Diaz can have fun.
This bout’s possibility is very slight, but it would be a fun fight that every MMA fan will watch.
With Diaz having left only one fight on his contract, it becomes a tough job for UFC management to negotiate the demands of Nate Diaz to keep him for the trilogy with Conor McGregor.
MMA analyst Ariel Helwani, Recently revealed that the UFC management wants to add a fight on Diaz’s contract to fight Poirier or any other fighter is a delaying factor for Nate’s next appearance.
