CHANDLER vs POIRIER in UFC ; A Scuffle turning into Octagon Tussle?

Days back, Poirier and Chandler engaged in an altercation at T Mobile arena in Las Vegas at the cage side.

A heated argument between the top-ranking lightweight UFC champ was recorded and uploaded by Gilbert Buns— a welterweight contender.

Jiri Prochazka— the UFC light heavyweight champion— unveiled the mystery that Dustin was presumably the initiator of the verbal skirmish. Jiri shared, "I was closest, next to Dustin, and he started to be aggressive, to talk some trash talks and all this stuff for Michael."

He further added by cracking a joke, "but I saved them [laughter]. I just watched that and there was a guy from the UFC and they tried to fix it".

Dustin labeled Michael Chandler as 'Fake' after saying, "I'm going to f***k you up."

There are speculations all-round about a potential fight between Poirier and Chandler. There are some spaces in the calendar where fans anxiously await a matchup, especially in November. However, Dustin seems more interested in an Octagon fight with Chandler.

In contrast, when Chandler was inquired about the desire for a fight, he replied, "that's the opposite way to get a fight with me. I'm not here for physical altercations in a public forum." He added, "I didn't want to fight him; if I end up fighting him, he's going to be knocked out."

Chandler has just knocked out Tony Ferguson with a front kick in May this year. On other hand, Poirier has been out of the ring since December 2021 after being chocked by Charles Oliveira in UFC 269.

Allegedly, this December defeat of Dustin Poirier can be the potential reason behind Poirier vs Chandler's altercations. Chandler commented, "he'd never quit in a big game like Poirier did" after Poirier's December defeat but later walks back on his words.

Speculations aside, Chandler vs Poirier match would be a treat to watch. Just tune into Fight TV to stay updated about the latest happenings in the boxing world!
