"I Think Dustin poirier (wins). Both are complete fighters and (Charles of the Bronx) Oliveira showed in the last two fights – especially against me – that his hands are sharp. He hits hard. It hits harder than we think. Your grapple has always been very strong, but I just think Dustin poirier It's a little better in all areas. I think his cardio (is better), plus he has the ability to hurt and finish the fight – like I couldn't do. I think that Dustin poirier wins this fight with a stoppage in the third or fourth round”, said Chandler.

'Iron', who faced the Brazilian in his last appearance in the Ultimate Octagon, was knocked out in the second round of the clash. The North American is now trying to get back on the path to victory and measures forces against Justin gaethje, UFC 268.
