Dustin Poirier Is Not Playing Games

[DetachedOrchid]

War Alvarez.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Thinking he has a few more fights to go before getting that title shot... 155 is stacked to the gills...

 

[Viking Power]

Dustin is a warrior. Good for him having some fire in his veins.

 

[VitorReem]

He’s good at best. Mediocre most of the time. Never will be champion.

Conrad McDickery called him a journeyman, so i would love the poetic justice of Dustin taking the strap that Cunter was too much of a pussy to defend.

You sound triggered bruh

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

This guy got KO'd by a rookie 145er. Got KO'd by Michael Johnson (who is now getting finished by rookies and 145ers). He beats a has-been and a rookie, and now he is a number 1 contender?

I don't respect UFC rankings at all. It is obvious that it is based on celebrity and recent exciting win bias.

Conor was far from a rookie

Conor would knockout Dustin again.

Dustin is one is JBG's disciples, I'll always be a fan

It's called "What have you done for me lately"

Speaking of Dustin... anyone remember how crazy his fight vs. the Korean Zombie was? I feel like that fight got drowned out in the MMA public's consciousness by all the incredible wars of the last five years or so. A lot of it is probably because of KZ's four-year layoff I guess, but it's definitely one of the best fights of all-time — a must-watch if you haven't seen it yet. And it was on Fuel TV of all networks! Crazy part about it is Dustin has fought 15 times since then (11-3, 1 NC), meanwhile KZ has only fought twice (1-1). Basically what I'm saying is I miss KZ and we need him back. War Poirier and War KZ!

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

He beat the guy that beat Michael Johnson who as you said beat him. Yeah that matters.

Solid proof that MMA math doesn't work.

Conor was far from a rookie

I only respect UFC records.

 

[Sosua]

Poirer is the most exciting fighter in the UFC

What's your definition of the word "rookie"?

 

[HaulParris]

Doesn't mean shit if he wins and UFC decides to give someone else the shot. What is he gonna do, throw a dolly at a bus? He can say whatever he wants on Twitter but he has no leverage.

True. The second Conor decides to actually fight MMA, all the rankings / streaks / strength-of-schedules go out the window, and in their place, a shiny new Undisputed-Interim-Super-Weight belt appears.

 

[Lumberjacks]

If he wins, he will be 9-1-1 in the lightweight division. With 2 legit top wins. Hell yeah that should be enough for a titleshot.

 

[Franc Mittelo]

What's your definition of the word "rookie"?

5 or less fights in the UFC.

 

[SuperNerd]

I'm gonna scratch that itch the title leaves you...



Welcome Sherdog.

 

[IamStryker]

He tuned up Alvarez and broke Justin.

"mediocre" ha

 

[TrueBias]

I'm sure Dustin wouldn't be picky he'd fight any of the 3 for any type of belt.

You do understabd whomever he fights, and beats, the other 2 have an argument?
