Chandler and Poirier got caught up in a tussle at UFC 276

Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler have been going at it since Chandler’s victory at UFC 274 against Tony Ferguson. The two finally met each other face to face after all the trash-talking during UFC 276 and things got heated, almost out of hand.

Dustin has alleged that Chandler was trying to avoid the Louisiana native as he believes himself to be a bad match-up for Chandler. On the sidelines since his bout against Charles Oliveira, Dustin has been campaigning for fights against Nate Diaz and Colby Covington but he believes Chandler to be his best route back to a title shot.

Chandler on the other hand is riding high on the reputation of being the first man to knock out Ferguson cold with his picture-perfect front kick to the face. Since then he has made clear that he wants a rematch with Oliveira and he just might get it after one more victory against a top contender.

Hence it’s no surprise that two unbooked fighters aiming for the top got tied up in an altercation when they finally met face to face

Dustin who was usually animated in his behavior was seated when Chandler who was walking to his seats came across the former Interim Champion. Poirier can be heard saying something although it is heavily muffled by the loud noises in the arena. He can be heard calling Chandler a “motherf**ker” twice before things start getting audible.

“You’re a fake motherf*ker” Dustin says as he points to Chandler who is separated by UFC security. “I’mma fck you up, Hey! You are fake” said Poirier angrier than usual pointing at Chandler a few meters away from him.

At this point UFC security commits to separating the two, with 3 personnel carrying away Chandler to his seats while 3 shield Poirier who is already behind a barricade.

Both Poirier and Chandler have repeatedly called out each other and have expressed their willingness to fight two more times this year. Though the UFC has not shown much interest in lining up the two, today’s events at UFC 276 may finally change that.
