UFC legend Chael Sonnen believes Dustin Poirier is prioritising a chase for Conor McGregor "status" over a potential title charge.
'The Diamond' returned to the octagon for the first time since losing in his title challenge against former 155lb champion Charles Oliveira at the end of last year. He choked out rival Michael Chandler in devastating fashion to reignite a new challenge to push towards the division king who is currently Islam Makhachev.
Poirier has gained popularity since his two most recent fights with the UFC's biggest superstar Conor McGregor which he won in dominant fashion. And former UFC title challenger Sonnen believes Poirier will now be chasing mega fights as opposed to focusing solely on winning the lightweight crown.
