Top UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier shared his prediction for his upcoming fight with Michael Chandler on Nov. 12 at UFC 281 in New York (USA).
If he fights me like he fought Justin Gaethje, I will deal with him even faster. If he comes out with a tough guy attitude – balls up, hands down – he’ll last a couple of exchanges, no more. I’ll take it, I promise you.
