On Monday, the UFC Russia Instagram account shared a video of Poirier (28-7 MMA, 20-6 UFC) and Chandler (23-7 MMA, 2-2 UFC) crossing paths for the first time at UFC 257 in January 2021, which was cool to look back on. Poirier had a little fun by faking a takedown, and then they shook hands and hugged it out.
