Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has revealed what he expects from the promotion's upcoming lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler.
Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Chandler is a fight that should be branded as a 'people's main event' ... Poirier will obviously be going for an early round, but Michael Chandler is a very resilient guy. You can tell from his past performances that his jawline is showing some weakness... I think Dustin can take Michael Chandler out.
