Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Chandler Prediction
This Saturday in The Big Apple, the UFC will be privy to hosting an absolute war sanctioned by the New York State Athletic Commission, with Dustin "The Hot Sauce Salesman" Poirier taking on Michael "See You At The Top" Chandler. This slobber knocker will finally bring the Bellator/UFC Round Robin of Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje, and the competitors this weekend to a close, as they will finally have all faced each other in some sort of capacity. An interesting tidbit to take note of here is that while the majority of the four fighters referenced have traded wins and losses, only one man stands supreme and that happens to be the hot sauce king of Louisiana.
Dustin has had a somewhat rough go of it as of late, with the peahead dropping his second title match in a row by humiliating submission to add insult to injury and encompass stagnation to an otherwise bombastic career. While seemingly being the epitome of UFC championship bridesmaids, Porier's run at undisputed gold has ultimately been fruitless. On the other side of the pond Chandler Is aging by the minute, only has secured victories over men on perpetual losing streaks, and is 5 foot 5. While MMA math doesn't always necessarily work in the grander scheme of things, one can't help but argue if you are getting bested by the likes of the Homer Simpson of MMA, what is going to take place when the former interim champion who bested Conor McGregor gets his hands on you.
Besides losing to Justin Gaethje, what's perhaps even more concerning for Chandler backers is that he was quite literally getting pieced up by the ghost of Tony Ferguson, a shadow of his former self who was on his way to securing the dub on the judges' memos until that fateful, highlight reel kick from hell. While the wrestling upside for Michael Chandler is there and somewhat prevalent, in the end, give me Dustin Poirier to get back on the winning track, stifling any and all offensive onslaughts early en route to an extremely late third-round finish or a crystal clear 30-27 on the scorecards.
