Dustin Poirier comments on former rival Michael Chandler suffering a third straight loss in the UFC, this time in lopsided fashion to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314

Paddy Pimblett delivered a career-defining performance at UFC 314 on April 12, 2025, in Miami, defeating Michael Chandler via third-round TKO. On the UFC 314 post-fight show, Dustin Poirier shared his thoughts on Pimblett’s breakout moment and Chandler’s struggles.

Although Poirier fell short in UFC lightweight title fights against Khabib Nurmagomedov, Oliveira and Makhachev, he did hold the interim UFC lightweight title for a time in 2019. He is perhaps best known for beating McGregor by technical knockout in back-to-back fights in 2021, but Holloway is arguably Poirier's greatest opponent and rival.
