Dustin Poirier claims he nearly bit off Michael Chandler’s fingers at UFC 281: ‘I had a grip’

Former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier has once more hit out at long-standing rival, Michael Chandler, claiming he would have bitten off the former’s fingers if he was fighting without a mouthguard in their UFC 281 grudge fight — alleging the former cheated in an attempt to submit him.

Poirier, the current number four ranked lightweight challenger, is yet to book his slated retirement outing amid links to a summer comeback to the Octagon for one final fight in combat sports — claiming a potential UFC New Orleans event is in the works to host his comeback.
