This fight is going down at UFC 168 Dec. 28th, and in my option is a very capable option for the PPV opener. Since coming to the UFC, Poirier has put together a 6-2 record inside the octagon his most recent win a dominant UD over Erik Koch. He's floated throughout the top 10 for awhile and is currently ranked 6th overall. He's got some power in his hands and is super aggressive with his BJJ once it hits the mat.
Diego Brandao is an Ultimate Fighter winner training out of Greg Jackson's camp and has put together a 4-1 record in the octagon and is undefeated in his last 3. He's super heavy handed with some great offensive muy thai, and a super under rated BJJ and wrestling game. He has however had trouble with his gas tank.
In my opinion, it is a great fight, but I'm not counting out Brandao as much as some others might be. What is your opinion of this fight and how do you see it going?
