Chael Sonnen believes UFC gold is no longer Dustin Poirier’s top priority.
Poirier (29-7 MMA, 21-6 UFC) submitted Michael Chandler in a Fight of the Night war last Saturday at UFC 281, adding on to his already star-studded resume. Outside of two title-fight losses, Poirier has been on a roll at lightweight, holding wins over Conor McGregor (twice), Max Holloway (for the interim title), Justin Gaethje, Eddie Alvarez, and now Chandler.
The win over Chandler has reentered Poirier into the title conversation, but Sonnen thinks “The Diamond” has other goals.
