NEW YORK -- Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler put on the type of wildly entertaining fight that fans have come to expect from each of them, and in doing so on the star-studded main card of UFC 281 on Saturday night, they helped sort out the lightweight top 10.
Poirier was the winner, finishing with a rear-naked choke 2 minutes into Round 2. But getting there took work. For much of the fight, Poirier, who is No. 4 in the ESPN rankings at 155 pounds, looked like the one who was going to get finished.
