Michael Chandler was annihilated by Mauricio Ruffy at the UFC White House fight card last weekend in Washington, DC, marking his fourth straight loss.

What happened?

The 40-year-old lightweight is now 2-6 under the UFC banner, with four of those losses ending by way of knockout or submission.

Why it matters for Michael Chandler

No. 2-ranked Arman Tsarukyan wants the UFC to put Chandler out of his misery, citing his age and poor performance.

Tsarukyan told Ariel Helwani: “I am going to beat Michael Chandler … poor Michael Chandler. How they let Michael Chandler fight? Please cut him. Just fire him.”

What comes next?

Tsarukyan had a different stance for 37-year-old Justin Gaethje, who defeated Ilia Topuria in the UFC White House main event to unify the 155-pound titles.

Gaethje looked strong, fast, and had good cardio, according to Tsarukyan, who believes he has maybe two more years left in his prime.

And Tsarukyan plans to take him down and choke him, rather than striking with him, as he thinks Gaethje doesn’t know how to escape from the mount.

The UFC White House fight card took place last weekend in Washington, DC, with Chandler's loss sparking calls for his removal from the UFC.

So the question remains: will the UFC cut Michael Chandler after his disastrous loss?

Tsarukyan is in the running for first crack at Gaethje’s crown, assuming he’s finally out of the doghouse, and a win over Chandler could be his ticket.

But for now, Chandler's future in the UFC remains uncertain, with many calling for his cut after his fourth straight loss.

The 40-year-old lightweight has had a tough run, and it's unclear what's next for him, but one thing is certain: his performance has sparked a lot of debate, with many questioning his ability to continue competing at the highest level.

On the other hand, Gaethje's win has cemented his position as a top contender, and his next fight is highly anticipated, with many expecting him to face Tsarukyan in the near future.

And as for Chandler, only time will tell what's next for him, but for now, his future in the UFC remains uncertain, with many calling for his cut after his disastrous loss.

The UFC has yet to make an official statement on Chandler's future, but it's clear that his performance has sparked a lot of debate, with many questioning his ability to continue competing at the highest level.
