"Could've been the best in the world" - Henry Cejudo shares candid take on Michael Chandler's UFC career

Michael Chandler recently lost to Paddy Pimblett via TKO in the co-main event of UFC 314. Following this defeat, Chandler's performance garnered widespread attention, including comments from former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo.

With this loss to 'The Baddy,' Chandler extended his losing streak to three fights, having previously fallen to Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn, 'Triple C' reflected on the former Bellator lightweight champion's struggles to return to the win column in the UFC.

He said:

"I get it man... I'm 0-3 now, I'm sorry. So, I get it [Michael] Chandler, I get it but damn that's five [5 losses] like, yeah, he probably has one more and just consider retirement, that's a lot of beatings man. I think Chandler could've been the best in the world. And, I even told this to him, he's too much of a crowd-pleaser and that has really bit him in the a**."
