MIAMI – Henry Cejudo can relate to Michael Chandler’s current situation.
Chandler (23-10 MMA, 2-5 UFC) suffered his third consecutive loss when he was stopped by Paddy Pimblett in Saturday’s UFC 314 co-main event at Kaseya Center.
On a three-fight losing skid himself, Cejudo (16-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) is looking to compete one more time before calling it a career. He urges Chandler to consider doing the same.
“I’m 0-3 now, so I get it, Chandler,” Cejudo told MMA Junkie. “He probably has to get one more and just consider retirement. That’s a lot of beatings, man.”
Cejudo thinks Chandler never lived up to his potential in the UFC. The former Bellator champion had competitive fights with the upper echelon of the UFC’s lightweight division but wound up falling short against Charles Oliveira twice, Justin Gaethje, and Dustin Poirier.
“I think Chandler could have been the best in the world,” Cejudo said. “He’s too much of a crowd pleaser and that has really bit him in the ass. Mike Perry was a crowd pleaser, too. There’s only a certain time before the UFC just says, ‘Hey man, thank you for pleasing us, but we got to move on.’ I feel like Chandler, they’re probably going to, at this point, maybe the UFC might give him a younger guy, and that’s typically what happens in this game.”
