Is a title fight for Dustin Poirier imminent?

After a stellar performance at UFC 257, Dustin has separated himself from the crowd. He has now secured wins over the majority of the fighters in the top 10 of the lightweight division. 

After UFC 257, Dana White stated that he would be interested in matching up Chandler and Poirier for the belt. However, Dustin was not on board with the idea at all. He felt that Chandler was a newbie who just beat someone that he already beat and therefore a title shot was not warranted.
