I had money on porier by TKO but when I heard Chandler say “I’m not looking for fight of the night I’m just looking to get my hand raised“ I got a bit worried

Chandler has a weak cardio, and a weak chin, he's a 36yo who's been knocked out badly before. This is not the heavyweight division.

@@zoheir1162 uhhh okay and I guess Dustin had weak ass grappling after getting mauled by Khabib and Charles in two different martial arts losing in the same fashion. Dude lost his touch the minute he got that Conor money. Chandler runs through Dustin. Come back and see me after the results are in!

Poirier already said that Makhachev is his worst matchup.

[@greendishatibaia9899]

Poirier has bad mentality sometimes. I always thought Poirier is a bad matchup for Islam, becaude Islams game starts on the feet always, and methodical, precise strikers have the best chance against Islam. I wish he had more confident

[@nicholascoob1350]

@@greendishatibaia9899 How well did that work out with Khabib? He's not an idiot, he's right in saying that's a terrible matchup for him. I give Chandler better odds against Islam.

@@nicholascoob1350 Chandler will be 37 in few months, and he's known for his bad IQ and cardio. After rewatched his last two fights, i will never put my money on him, i will be very surprised if he win tonight.

[@nicholascoob1350]

@@zoheir1162 I'm with you on that, I also think Dustin wins tonight. But skill wise, what does he have for Islam? At least Chandler can neutralise the wrestling potentially and has the KO power to boot. Islam has better striking than Khabib and arguably equal wrestling. He runs through the LW quite easily imo, his only real competition is Arman.

[@greendishatibaia9899]

@@nicholascoob1350 islams wrrsrling is way different than khabibs. Islam doesnt shots, he always fighs conservatively. And Poiried has bad confidence due to his two failures in title fights. That lack of confidence was pretty evident when he locked charles on his guard in order to finish the round. Poiried is a black belt in bjj, he submitted holloway and pettis, dont talk like he doesnt knows how he handle himself with both islam and charles, he needs to attack people on the ground just to show the opponent that he isnt scared, which he doesnt do.

Poirier has been in some brutal fights. Fights that would have cowed lesser men. Fights that would have made others think, ''I've had enough now. Time to go for a pay day and retire'' but not him. He keeps coming back to face hard men at the top of their game. Poirier is a tough guy.

Poriers been looking kind of stressed/disturbed for a while now, for some reason. I still favor his fighting style though, he has a nice shot selection.

[@penayecyrille9405]

@Paul J I like Poirier's energy, he wants that war so much. If Chandler tries to bang with him he is going down in round one, Dustin defense is way better, he dont get caught often so Chandler power is useless against him, however Chandler used to have a good offensive grappling game back in Bellator, if he can take him down and submit him the fight is over.

[@davidclayton.1511]

Hea cutting weight. Look at his face.

Dude he cuts from 190 to 155 ofcourse he is stressed.

[@sunleo6161]

i say the opposite

Poirier's always jittery during fight week, its a mix of cutting weight, tension and he obviously isn't comfortable doing media. Doesn't mean much, people were calling him mentally shook before he dusted Connor into irrelevency.
