Former MMA fighter and now analyst Chael Sonnen shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint-Denis, which will take place on March 10 at UFC 299 in Miami (USA).
Poirier's an underdog, which is a colossal mistake. There is no justification for whoever set that line. They had better sit there crossing their fingers that they get that one right because there is nothing by the numbers they can point to. This is 100 percent predicated on the perception that one just got his hand raised at Madison Square Garden and one just got upset in Salt Lake City.
