Dustin Poirier only had to point at the scoreboard to win his latest dispute.
It’s no secret that Poirier and fellow lightweight contender Michael Chandler have long disliked each other, with their feud culminating at UFC 281 in November 2022 when Poirier defeated Chandler by second-round submission in a “Fight of the Night”-winning duel.
Despite the respect was shown in the cage that night, there’s still plenty of animosity between Poirier and Chandler, and Chandler used a word association segment with ESPN to take a shot at “The Diamond.”
Watch the clip below, in which Chandler called Poirier “salty.”
It didn’t take Poirier long to respond and he didn’t have to say much, simply posting the finish from their fight on Instagram Stories (h/t Championship Rounds):

Michael Chandler has other fish to fry this Saturday as he takes on another past opponent in Charles Oliveira in the co-main event of UFC 309 in New York. Let’s hope Chandler is recovered from Poirier’s burn by the time fight night rolls around.
