Dustin Poirier needs a better reset habit than pulling shorts

[Rhood]

It's too obvious when he does it, and it leaves himself vulnerable and over exposed.
He needs to be more subtle about it without leaving glaring wide openings, like how Forrest Griffin does the forehead tap or how Diego Lopes grabs his throat or how Shogun raises his arms.

It’s his last UFC fight. I don’t think it matters much anymore.

Can’t teach an old Suredawg new tricks

Back in Miami dudes would do the same thing while squaring up. Would always be followed up with terrible fighting lol then someone getting jumped.

Imagine if Dustin fought Diego Lopes. One guy pulling his shorts, the other guy rubbing his neck.

 

[Ares Black]

Might be a bit late for this advice TBH

 

[Shaolin Alan]

What if he pulled his instead??

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

What if he pulled his instead??

We’d know with certainty his wife was in McGreGOAT’s dms

This thread would have made sense 5 years ago but at this point I just hope he has a good camp and final fight.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I am surprised nobody has taken advantage of that bad habit.

 

[RockyLockridge]

the PPP (Porier pants pull-up) is a signature technique fans have come to love over the years

 

[USA!USA!]

little late in the game for that sherbro

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

what about when he brushes his hair over

you see plenty of examples where fighters time their opponents and quickly sort out a counter-attack.

He actually does it to appeal to a modern audience. Every time Poirier fights you have a sizeable contingent of the LBGT community tuning in for hopes of a wardrobe malfunction. Genius marketing move if you ask me, Poirier has been consistently one of the most popular fighters for a reason.

Kinda like Chito being able to exploit Cruz’s exaggerated head movement with a switch kick to the dome by making him dodge right into it. People had been talking about trying to exploit that for years.

It only matters one more time.

Put that boy in some spandex

I'll tell him what you said TS. I'm sure it'll rejuvenate his career and he'll make a come back.

Let’s not forget he also spits
