It will be Khabib 2.0.

Dustin can't stop his TD's like Volk.

It will be Khabib 2.0.

Yeah I think the general sentiment of the fans is there isn't much hype for this matchup right now given that Poirier has been choked out in 2 title fights so far and it would probably happen again.

dustin... this aint what you want

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Fuck it, why not?

 

[Reign009]

"What's up"

 

[Reign009]

Fuck it, why not?

Because Beneil deserves it. Even Dustin has said so.

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

I'll entertain the idea once Dustin beats someone besides Michael Chandler and Justin Gaethje

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

I think Dustin can beat him.

DP cracks harder than Volk and can shut off his lights.

DP will focus his entire camp on takedown defense.

Ideally Fiziev beats Gaethje and then Poirier vs Fiziev could be a title eliminator imo.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

His wife is in Islam's DMs

 

[ryun253]

Dustin doesn't want to be RNC'd again.

 

[Shaddows]

Fuck it, why not?

That's my sentiment exactly.
He deserves a title shot! He just beat the (then #5) ranked guy in his division. That's when he was #2.
He is still behind Charles, but Charles is booked against Beneil.... so who exactly deserves more than him???
maybe he improved since Khabib!

 

[Bearknuckle]

Yawn, we need new contenders and matchups. Im kinda bored with chandler, gaethje and poirer hanging around. I want fiziev and dariush to get their time.

Dustin's wrestling ability has been affected by his hip surgery, he's not fighting off Islam's wrestling for that long with the amount of wear and tear on his body at this point.

 

[markg171]

Of course he does.

Dustin loves free title shots.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Let ‘em have it so he can lose and fight someone he’s already fought in the top 8 to get his ranking back

 

[IneedSometop]

it depends on when Islam is wanting to comeback if he wants to fight again in the summer sure I guess but I’d rather see a 2nd Volk fight? If he’s looking to come back in the third/fourth quarter of 2023 then it has to be Benny if he beats Charles.

UFC should have scrapped the olives/Benny fight imo

 

[Filter909]

Sure, if Islam loses a couple in a row, why not

 

[Pechan]

Maybe he should fight an actual contender first?
