Dustin Poirier called out Michael Chandler for multiple fouls during their UFC 281 fight - "Dirty m*********er"

Dustin Poirier has called out Michael Chandler for repeated offenses in the octagon during their UFC 281 main card fight. During their fight, when Chandler had back control of 'The Diamond', the Louisiana native seemed to complain about something to the referee. Since the pair were so closely engaged, it was difficult to see exactly what happened.

However, on watching the replay, it was evident that Michael Chandler fish-hooked Dustin Poirier to try and get his arm under his neck to choke him out. Fish-hooking is when the fighter uses his fingers to grab the inside of the nose or the mouth. Poirier was not very impressed with Chandler's move and protested to the referee. In the post-fight press conference, he revealed what he said to his opponent:

"I told him this is my house, that's what I told him. And I told him he's a dirty m*********er too, for putting his fingers in my mouth and blowing his nose and it's all good."

In another incident, Dustin Poirier caught Michael Chandler with a strike that seemed to break his nose. Later on, when they were engaged in a grapple, 'Chaos' blew his nose while he was on top of Poirier and ended up spewing blood all over the Louisiana native's chin and chest.
