The UFC 155-pound division is arguably the toughest in mixed martial arts. Coming off a TKO win over the tough Justin Gaethje, Chael Sonnen makes a case for Poirier earning the next title shot against Khabib Nurmagomedov,

  1. Porier does not deserve a title shot. If he can beat the winner of Lee vs Barboza then maybe we can have a conversation.

  3. People saying he doesnt deserve…. when Conor jumped the whole FW and LW divisions…. when Khabib beats #11 and is now undesputed… when Lee fought for a title ranked barely top 10… I could go on forever, and ever if i include other divisions….

  4. Wait and see, if Lee beats Barboza, he will fight Khabib and Alvarez and Poirier will fight again. The UFC will have three contenders if Lee beats Barboza, cause Conor is out and so is Ferguson so that leaves Alvarez, Poirier and Lee. Alvarez and Poirier had a questionable ending to their first fight, so I assume to sort out three contenders they will do a rematch with Alvarez ad Poirier. They have a built in feud with Lee and Khabib, cause Lee has been talking shit about Khabib for years, before anyone even knew who Khabib was. All three have lost fights recently, so it would be unfair to say Lee losing to Ferguson means much, cause Poirier and Alvarez have also lost recent fights. No doubt in my mind Lee gets the title shot if he wins this Saturday. I would not doubt if Lee fights Khabib and Poirier and Alvarez fight on the same exact card.

  5. Khabib. McGregor. Ferguson. Alvarez. For the 5th spot it would be nice to see Poirier vs the winner of Barboza vs Lee.

  7. Team Khabib picking only strikers, to be a good match up for him. Pick Alvarez or Kevin Lee, not fucking Poirer who cant wrestle for his life.

  8. Now that Khabib is champ things are way less complicated. Give him Poirier and Lee on the same night with a 15 minutes break in between. Wait 3 months then give him Tony and Conor.

  9. Barboza already for destroyed by khabib. It's eithgee Alvarez or Poirier door khabib

  10. Porier needs to check kicks, i was getting worried for him during that fight.
