Poirier took umbrage with remarks made by Chandler on social media.
Chandler recently made a mockery of Poirier's attempt at making a rematch with Islam Makhachev. The champ replied, "No thanks," and Chandler retorted, "'No thanks' - retire man... we good."
Not only did Poirier clap back with some posts of his own, but he torched Chandler in a flabbergasted rant on "Who the f*** is 'we'?" Poirier exclaimed. "You just got here buddy, you're not one of us, you're not 'we,' I've been here, you know? ... You know, welcome to the UFC, dude. You got one win in the UFC... He's not one of us, I've been cutting my teeth in the UFC since , he just got here!"
Chandler and Poirier fought before at UFC 281, with Poirier winning by submission in the third round. It was a hard-fought victory for Poirier, who endured foul play from Chandler, including fish-hooking his mouth to secure a choke, snorting bloody snot onto his face in full mount, and repeated blows to the back of the head. Because of this, the two lightweights aren't on the best of terms.
