Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler almost came to blows in Las Vegas last night as they were enjoying a UFC event cageside.
The two top lightweight contenders have had a long-standing rivalry, but as yet have been unable to settle their differences inside the octagon. Chandler and Poirier shared the card the night of the ex-Bellator champion's UFC debut in Abu Dhabi last year, both landing knockouts over Dan Hooker and Conor McGregor respectively.
But their chance to meet for the lightweight title was scuppered when Chandler lost his vacant title bout to Charles Oliveira last year. Poirier ended up beating McGregor again to earn a shot at the belt, but it was Oliveira who he ended up facing and ultimately losing to in December.
