20-18 Chandler for me.

Poirier the much better fighter overall. Chandler needs that absolutely insane pace to compete but that's unsustainable for 3 rounds.
Same old story with Chandler. He gasses early and allows his opponent to gain the upper hand.
For feck sake. Chandler, you idiot.
Gotta feel for Chandler. Pretty much same mistake vs Gaethje in the third round.
Great fight.
Great fight.
Man the first 3 minutes against chandler are terrifying. He just strikes with those mutant long arms so strongly. If you survive that, you have a great shot because he just gasses and he is half the fighter he is at the beggining
Love poirier. But i don't think he has a chance against islam

Crazy fight. We've probably seen the best of Chandler now but christ he's had an entertaining UFC run. 5 fights and pretty much all of them a compelling watch.
I can't see any way Carla wins this.
Chandler v Poirier was amazing. I can't see how Chandler beats any of the really top tier unless he knocks them out in the first round. He does not fight smart and is gassed by the second. No chance in a 5 round fight. Very exciting to watch.
Fun scrap that first round.
Rose’s husband has much to answer for
#AndNew Way too strong for Esparza.
As dominant as you'd have expected from Weili, although I didn't think she'd be quite so aggressive on the ground. Great performance!
Least surprising result there. Still can't wrap my head around the fact that Carla ever became champ again. Fair play to her.
Interim FW ?! 
. Shameless.
. Shameless.You could argue the second round was a 10-8 as well. Great job Porier just to hang on until Chandler gassed.
But neither guy deserves to be anywhere near the title picture, by that showing.
Izzy gonna lose
Adesanya to clinically piece him up for a majority decision and bore everyone to sleep.
Rogan still rewriting history with the Jan fight. 'Piecing him up on the feet' .
He was literally outstruck every round in that fight.

Adesanya will still be the champion.
That was more to do with Rose being an idiot than Carla actually being that good.

That wouldn't be like Rogan.
How the hell does Pereira make middleweight?
Pereira looking massive.
wow saved by the bell
Late hit?
a bit late hit from Adesanya
I think Pereira might be too big and strong tbh
So happy to see it's a good fight!
Probably 1-1. Interesting fight. They both look scared of each other.
2-1 Izzy, dominant round there.
2-1 Izzy…..probably. First round would be interesting given that the striking was pretty even.
It’s closed in Round1 and 2( even round1 the Brazilian edges it). In round3 Ade clearly edges Alex.
Time for sleep. Pereira is empty and offers feck all anyway. I don't like Adesanya but he is extremely talented.
That probably goes to Izzy but neither really did anything there.
3-1 I'd imagine but the first was close. I think Pereira needs to knock him out but he is barely throwing.
Izzy shows his experience and intelligence. He’s smart as hell( even I’m not his fanboy).
Oh my god!
WOWW!!
Holy shit.
