UFC 281: Poirier chokes out bloody Chandler to breathe new life into title bid

DUSTIN POIRIER got back to winning ways with a bloody victory over Michel Chandler.

The lightweight standouts finally locked horns with one another early on Sunday morning on a stacked UFC 281 card at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Fan favourite Poirier looked to breathe new life into his title hopes following heartbreak in his title fight with Charles Oliveira last December.

And The Diamond did so in spectacular fashion at The World’s Most Famous Arena – submitting former Bellator champ Poirier with a third-round rear-naked choke.

There was no love lost between the pair going into the MSG showdown, so much so that, unsurprisingly, there was no touch of gloves.
