This fight is taking place in Abu Dhabi. For those that don’t know what Abu Dhabi is, it’s a city that has blistering heat waves. Currently the weather there is 43 degrees Celsius, 43 degrees!! That’s insane heat. Standing outside would melt your face, especially for someone who hasn’t grown up in this kind of heat.
Khabib was both in Russia, where it’s freezing cold and temperatures barely go over 15 degrees Celsius. He’s never experienced 43 degree weather before. His body hasn’t handled that kind of heat.
Whereas Poirier grown up in the desert where the heat gets to 43 degrees on a regular basis. His body is accustomed to that heat.
Now imagine, you’ve never been in that kind of heat before and you are weight cutting. He won’t be able to handle it.
But the time he steps into the octagon his body and his mind will have been destroyed by the heat and humidity. Poirier will be ready to pounce.
