On November 13 will take place UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden. In one of the main card events, American lightweight Dustin Poirier will fight the American Michael Chandler. The fight is planned for 06:00 UK time.
This upcoming featherweight title bout is guaranteed to be an eventful one. On paper, the fighters are similar in many respects, but in reality, Porter looks like a more mature, intelligent, and equipped fighter. He will be able to not only outbox, but inflict more damage on his challenger, and if the confrontation goes into the 3rd round, there the stamina of “The Diamond” may well allow him to finish the swollen Chandler. For him, the best option would be a vicious fight, with pressure and transfers to the ground, but in the UFC Michael hasn’t shown his zero-floor skill very often, and with Dustin, he’s unlikely to be able to change that situation.
The former interim light heavyweight champion is not only number 2 on the rankings chart, but also number 8 on the P4P chart. Dustin holds the record for the most finishes in the under-70 kg division, he has 11 bonuses for the best fights and knockouts of the night, the athlete has a black belt in BCW around his waist, and he has already fought 36 bouts in the professionals. The American’s trophy shelf holds the scalps of such monsters as Max Holloway, whom he beat twice, Eddie Alvarez, former champion Anthony Pettis, and Justin Gage. In his most recent performance, “Diamond” attempted to win the title, however, he was unsuccessful there, although the fighter was able to make meaningful gains at the start. Dustin’s hands are some of the best in the division. His rack work is backed up not only by volume, but also by good accuracy, and the picture is completed by the tonnage because the athlete charges from the heart.
“Iron Michael,” despite his variable career successes, is still held in the top 5 of the lightweight division. He was quite successful in freestyle wrestling and has continued to improve since his MMA debut. Numerous Bellator victories have led him to the championship three times, and have also made him the record holder for the most fights and victories in the league’s history. Chandler has made his name in MMA history with victories over legends like Eddie Alvarez, Brent Primus, Benson Henderson, and other big names. Despite certain career setbacks and embarrassing defeats, Michael is still one of the most dangerous lightweights on the planet. Over time, Chandler has begun to evolve from a fighter to a knockout fighter. And let’s face it, his power is truly intimidating – both single punches and series of punches do tremendous damage to opponents, and only a few can withstand them.
