UFC star Michael Chandler delivers adorable speech to sons after brutal fight

Michael Chandler gave his two sons a hilarious speech about the damage he sustained in his UFC 281 loss to Dustin Poirier.

Former title challenger Chandler was tapped out by Poirier in the third round of their back-and-forth lightweight clash at Madison Square Garden in New York. Chandler enjoyed the better of the early exchanges and had 'The Diamond' backed up against the fence after landing a big combination that set up a takedown.

Poirier turned the tide in the second round as he dropped Chandler with a big right hand and although 'Iron Mike' was able to recover, he was ultimately submitted by a rear-naked choke in the third round. Chandler posted a Instagram video in which he explained the nature of his injuries to his two sons whilst wearing an ice mask to reduce the swelling of his face.
