He gets ragdolled by Khabib.
Style is tailor made to get rassle-fukd

 

[datsyuk]

Gonna be a long night for Dustin in that one.

 

[OneBoredColeman]

I think they make Alvarez/Poirier II

The first fight was BS.

 

[Andersons Foot]

I agree. Don't think he poses much of a threat, but he has earned a shot.

 

[theTKDguy]

Let him beat eddie first and then ts. Khabib would definitely be the favorite but dustin has a puncher's chance i guess. His tdd is ok iirc so there's that.

 

[peterparker66]

I think if he can sure up his TDD he could pose some real problems for Khabib .
would love to see Dustin finale get a title shot

 

[A.S. Deep]

Poirier not getting a TS confirmed.

 

[MikalP]

wouldn't even be competitive.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

 

[GOAT]

"A contender"

 

[who?]

stylistic mismatch. not interested

 

[Strategery]

Please, no.

 

[Karasu-Hanta]

Watch Eddie pretend he wants Poirier now after quacking for a year.

 

[daruckus]

Honestly, Gaetje is a worse matchup for Khabib with his wrestling skills but he doesn't ever use them to get takedowns...

 

[Zeppeling]

I agree. Don't think he poses much of a threat, but he has earned a shot.

Possesses knockout power and quick hands. He’s severely undersized and likely gets gnp, but if he catches khabib he won’t let him get away with it. Bonus that he actually can throw a competent jab *cough iaquinta, barboza, Johnson cough*

 

[DS66]

If Khabib's first title defense is against anyone not named Tony, Conor, or GSP.... the entire MMA world will be disappointed. Khabib/Poirier isn't happening any time soon.

 

[Paladin]

Feed him to Ferguson

 

[DariusTheGreat]

lol its hilarious how many people still fall for his lies

 

[KantoTerror]

Khabib mails everyone at light weight.but give contenders a shot...
