Top American UFC lightweight Michael Chandler shared his expectations from the upcoming fight with his compatriot Dustin Poirier, which will take place on the night of November 13 at UFC 281 in New York.

Poirier is not such a difficult task. I'm not saying it will be an easy ride, because this fighter has a good base. He has a very excellent striking technique and wrestling, he also defends well on the ground. Dustin really doesn't have many weak points.

This is an experienced fighter with a good store of knowledge. I am going to work actively from the first minutes of the fight, I will try to quickly hit him in the face and make him doubt his abilities. But it is unlikely that I will win ahead of schedule, ”MMAJunkie quotes Chandler.
