The UFC 281 didn’t leave the fans with any complaints. The superb bout of Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler enthralled MMA fans worldwide and the Madison Square Garden audience. Poirier managed to win he fought in the third round via submission. But he was still disgusted at some of the things done by Chandler to him in the course of their fight.

In the second round of the fight, Chandler successfully managed to mount himself on Poirier’s back, trying to get him in a rear naked choke. Poirier naturally placed his chin down to avoid it. But, ‘The Diamond’ complained that Chandler got his fingers into his mouth and applied upward pressure to lift his chin up and secure the choke.

Another fan dug deep and commented, “Whole lotta casuals in here hating on Dustin. Hard to find another fighter that’s had the road he has, and Mike DID blow his nose on him and fishhook him. I’d be pissed, too”. But, one more contradicted him, writing, “Colby needs to humble Dustin”. He definitely wanted a Covington vs Poirier fight.
