Top UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between Dustin Porrier and Michael Chandler on the night of Nov. 13 at UFC 281.
I think the fight will last until the decision. It will most likely be similar to our fight with Chandler. Poirier with his technique will be up against Chandler's explosive power. Michael is incredibly dangerous in the first round, probably almost as dangerous in the second round, but not so dangerous in the third.
