Dustin Poirier chooses Conor McGregor over Michael Chandler (via Imago)
The fight game is essentially all based on different stylistic matchups. A fighter may match up very well against a higher-ranked opponent with a particular style. However, the same fighter could struggle against a lower-ranked opponent with a very different style. UFC Veteran Dustin Poirier has a similar take on the upcoming fight against Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor.

Dustin Poirier has faced both Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler in the octagon. He threw his weight behind the “Notorious” to emerge victorious via knockout at UFC 303. This prediction is due to his assessment of both fighters’ stylistic strengths.

Poirier’s words carry weight as he stands as the fighter to knock McGregor out and submit Chandler. He is considered one of the best strikers in the UFC. His intimate knowledge of their styles and tendencies makes his prediction all the more intriguing. Plus, both McGregor and Chandler had their last fights against Dustin Poirier.
