Chael Sonnen Believes Dustin Poirier’s Win at UFC 269 Will Close the Doors for Conor McGregor
Retired MMA fighter Chael Sonnen made an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. He discussed a range of things taking place in the MMA world, along with the upcoming title fight between Dustin Poirier & Charles Oliveira.
The 44-year-old shared his thoughts about the future of the lightweight division, with ‘The Diamond’ finally becoming its world champion.
Sonnen believes if Poirier walks away with the world title at UFC 269, then it will negatively impact Irish Superstar Conor McGregor. As Conor McGregor has already suffered two heartbreaking losses to Dustin Poirier, it would definitely put him out of the title picture.
Chael Sonnen thinks Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 4 is a tough sell
Is Chael Sonnen right about Conor’s chances at lightweight? The Irish fighter sports a negative record in that division and hasn’t won a fight in that division for well over 5 years. This will definitely make McGregor vs Poirier 4 impossible for the matchmakers should ‘The Diamond’ win at UFC 269.
