But when hopes were raised against Poirier, Chandler was indifferent, saying Poirier “ignored him” when he came to the UFC and that he did not believe Poirier was pulling. It was a great song change for Chandler who was still looking forward to the fight with Poirier back in January. And according to Poirier, that’s because it all sends.
