Dustin Poirier nearly finished Habib in the second round, rocked him badly. Habib was moving weirdly trying to recover and most of Poirier's finishing blows failed to land solid. Habib recovered.
Conor on the other hand had the opportunity to stand for the whole 3rd round. Connected several times right on the chin to no effect. Habib took all of them and was not even phased, he even delivered some of his own punches and even slapped Conor stockton style
Dustin seemed much more effective striker and fighter of the two and is now the only fighter to come close to beating/finishing Habib.
I think the rematch between Poirier and Conor would be a great fight and it would look much differently than the first fight. And they both need this fight, Conor needs high caliper 155 fight and Dustin needs to revenge his loss.
