Michael Chandler tries to mock Dustin Poirier’s sauce brand but ends up praising it
It seems like the Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier rivalry has been around for a long time. Not like now, where both the fighters are hungry to beat each other inside the octagon but something more subtle.
A viral clip of one of Chandler’s Instagram stories has been circulating on the internet lately which has gathered the attention of the fight fans.
In the clip, Chandler can be seen throwing away Poirier’s Louisiana Hot sauce inside the garbage can in order to mock the fighter. Later in that same clip, Chandler went and brought back the sauce and used it on a fried chicken. Out of respect towards the sauce, Chandler hilariously gives the sauce a thumbs-up by saying, ” it’s pretty good.”
Since coming into the UFC, Chandler knew he will have to fight Poirier in future and the time has finally come. Both the fighters have the reputation of bringing their best game into the octagon and this time it will be no different.
