I don't understand AT ALL how Poirier manages to win fights while adjusting his shorts and his hair every 5-10 seconds. It blows my mind, he often does it even WHILE BEING PUNCHED IN THE FACE and he still survives to fire back.

[@dekeyzaudioproductions712]

Could be his own little pyschological trick of rolling with the punches & staying in the fight.

[@justbleedprod.9414]

Dustin’s composure is something that is so underrated. He’s eating shots from guys like Chandler and McGregor but is able to keep his cool under pressure

[@MrWeareone777]

He’s definitely come a long way since the McGregor loss in the feather weight division. The guy is like a machine now.

[@Kangaroofilet]

IMO the Dustin that fought Conor the second time was one of the most dangerous lightweights ever he seems to have faded a bit since then

[@justbleedprod.9414]

@@Kangaroofilet styles make matchups. Against guys like Conor and Max, his striking is more methodical and technical. He picks his shots. But against guys like Hooker and Chandler who like to brawl DP can look a little sloppy

Yeah just like Dustin. He was a brawler and had several losses in a row. His first lost to Dustin is where they asked him if he was going to change his fighting style. He said no way. But as soon as he did he began to have more success.

At 3:08 when Chandler went for the takedown I thought that was a mistake from his end considering he was LANDING HEAVY, but from this angle it looks like Dustin was blocking most of them. Damn Dustin. His boxing altogether is amazing

[@MadMaxWithaMac]

yeah like he second guessed himself or maybe thought he would smash him up more on the ground since dustin was a little rocked

[@kostonl]

@@MadMaxWithaMacpoiriers guard was perfect for blocking looping shots, defended near every punch. The downside is your guard is completely raised and when blocking thinking “hook, hook” against the fence is the perfect time to shoot and land a takedown, which he did. Its simple gameplan

poor Dustin he is in wrong era where wrestling dominate ufc, if only I could look and analysis he only loses against wrestler like khabib and oliveira, so point is only if ufc was dominated by kick and pound he could have been champion long time ago, and still could have been depending it. also fun fact he been top 10pvp fighter in world since khabib vs conor, also from many fight Dustin easily last to 5 round and he became more aggressive on 2-3 round so chandler wanted to finish him quick and gas himself out, but he always give his best and show as he is one of fans fav chandler
