Two of the most revered and accomplished lightweights in mixed martial arts history will tangle under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner when Dustin Poirier collides with Michael Chandler in a featured UFC 281 attraction on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The stakes are undeniably high for both men.
Poirier has rattled off seven victories over his last nine outings. However, the American Top Team standout finds himself on the rebound after a third-round rear-naked choke submission loss to Charles Oliveira in a failed bid to capture the undisputed lightweight crown at UFC 269 on Dec.
