Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler address their beef in joint interview ahead of UFC 281

What exactly led to the beef between Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler?

Former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier tried to get an answer on a recent edition of the ‘DC & RC’ show on ESPN, where he spoke with both men in a joint interview ahead of their much-anticipated fight.

Poirier told Cormier his aversion to Chandler stems from how his opponent switches up his personality when in front of a microphone.

“If you ask anyone who knows me or anyone who has heard me speak about Mike, I’ve been watching the guy fight for a long time,” said Poirier.
