I thought Poirier was just a bit salty at Mike giving him cold shoulder but once heard his reason like saying Mike used Dustin going to 170 as an excuse while at same time saying he'd fight Conor at 170 . but at same time Dustin would ignore everyone and go 170 to beat up Conor for another big pay day again too

[@AverageSneakerHead502]

I think Poirier is fake. He literally said he didn't want to cut weight, and wanted to fight at 170, so why would he be on Chandler's radar for who he wants to fight at 155? Poirier didn't have a problem with what Chandler said, until Chandler was getting more shine and saw the opportunity to get a big fight that puts him back on track to the title, after getting smoked by 2 champions. Also, what Poirier said was wayyy more disrespectful towards Chandler than Chandler was towards Poirier. Saying you'd rather sell hot sauce than fight a guy? You're basically saying he's trash, and not worth your time and energy

I understood the context of the comment at the time: you have to pay your dues. Otherwise I think here is where they have been the most straight with each other (despite DC trying to stoke the fire a bit.) IMO, the more the UFC can stay away from WWE-type antics, the better.

If by some crazy way this fight goes the distance, this will be fight of the night, and probably a hall of famer.

[@carlospina1949]

@@redakatsuki5317 you’re totally right, in that case, Mike chandler vs Dustin Portier for fight of the night.

[@Chris-2]

@@carlospina1949 😂😂 that was good but there’s no way Adesanya will fight against Alex like he did against Cannonier. People greatly overrate what Alex did to him in boxing, but Alex is still one of the best strikers ever to grace this earth. He’ll bring the best out of Izzy for sure

I've been a DP fan much longer, but both of these guys are perfect role models for MMA.

[@codyparker4742]

Chandler is such a nice guy. Dustin was trying so hard to get pissed off and he just couldn't

[@immyhussain283]

Love these guys tbh. Don't want any of them to lose, mad respect for both though. Hope they make it out healthy and get paid

Same except hope someone get brutally finished!! May the best man win and the 2nd best man sleep like a baby!

[@btcharlee9727]

Love Michael Chandler's honesty and humility. He has a true champions attitude, similar to GSP. Of all the current fighters he is a role model of how to conduct yourself.

[@ImNotYourEnemy]

Nope. He's putting on a show. He understands the business side of the UFC.

[@Alroytt]

@@ImNotYourEnemy not really tho. The standard business model for being a star in the industry is the opposite of chandler

[@skull1675]

Nope he is fake you can ask Josh Thompson and Benson Henderson

[@captaindeadpool2655]

@@skull1675 Yeh I saw that but to be honest at the end of the day Josh Thompson is all over the board. He fails to mention he has personal beef with Chandler that if I remember correctly is deeply rooted in both their camps for a while. Benson Henderson always seemed sketchy to me. Never liked him or took to him no matter how entertaining he was.

[@user-ey4ut9uc8w]

@@ImNotYourEnemy bro adopted and is raising a kid lol. I’m pretty sure him being a solid dude is more than just than an act for the promotion. Being a goody two shoes isn’t even a popular one to go for anyways. It doesn’t make sense
