Michael Chandler is at a crossroads after his loss against Paddy Pimblett on UFC 314.
The career of the former triple Bellator Lightweight Champion as a top candidate seems to be over after he was on his way to a shock loss of the third round in Miami, Florida, on Saturday evening.
Michael Chandler drives on a three-field loss line after he has fallen to 2-5 in the UFC Octagon.
UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping called his latest loss a 'career murderer' before former champion with two weight Henry Cejudo went one step further by telling 'Iron' to consider walking away from MMA.

Michael Chandler advised to retire by Henry Cejudo
Cejudo also runs on a three-fighter loss streak while preparing for a final UFC competition.
'Triple C' is of the opinion that Chandler should retire with him after his devastating loss at UFC 314.
“I think Chandler should only have one fight, man. I really do it,” said Cejudo on the Pound4Pound champion that he shares with former UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. “I think we should go with retirement, perhaps on the same card.
“If I am Michael Chandler, yes, I would retire, Bro. Those are too many successes, guy.
“It doesn't even take l's, he takes elbows to the face, he is always cut and bloody.
“He will be loved by people, but he has lost all his fights and people just forget it.”
