Michael Chandler clearly has been in the line of fire of his Lightweight counterparts over the last week. After number eight-ranked Lightweight Arman Tsarukyan called him a low IQ fighter on Twitter, another fighter has set his sights on the former Bellator champ. Mateusz Gamrot, in a recent Instagram post, uploaded a video aimed at Chandler. The post was a clear call out of the 36-year-old, who in the video claimed that he hasn’t watched any of Gamrot‘s fights. It ended up stirring up quite a few reactions from the fans of the Polish mixed martial artist, with some even calling a possible fight a passing of the torch to the newer generation of fighters.

With the Lightweight division heating up as Islam Makhachev faces Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 284, it seems like the perfect time for the UFC to set up a few fights. Gamrot‘s call-out, in that regard, is an indication of the intent that the younger fighters in the division currently have in climbing up the rankings. Read on to check out how fans reacted to Gamrot‘s post aimed at Chandler.

The video posted by Gamrot showed Michael Chandler in the UFC studio back when the polish fighter faced Jeremy Stephens. While rooting for Stephens, the video cuts to ‘Iron’ in another interview claiming he hasn’t really watched Gamrot‘s fights. The caption included in the post even called Chandler a liar.

“Michael Chandler. Stop lying to all people around, wake up after that choke already and don’t be afraid to fight. UFC in May. Miami. Let’s go! UFC”. Wrote Gamrot.
