Hype around Poirier

[Sansnom]

what hype? almost everyone is favoring Khabib but Dustin does at least stand a chance

^This lol

It's the second thread I see asking about the "Poirier hype". But there is no hype.

The only hype I see is about the fight. Not about Poirier. Most think Khabib wins.

Don’t take me wrong Dustin is a great fighter and seems like a great guy.

But what’s with all the hype around him and talking that he can beat Khabib? He pulled from a fight with Diaz. Then, Dustin got lucky that Ferguson refused to fight Max and he got an opportunity to become an interim champ. He did beat Max but its still was a very close fight it’s not like Poirier was so much better than Featherweight Holloway.

So where is all this hype coming from? Nobody talked about Poirier as a potential champ prior to his fight with Max. Now, after beating a Featherweight, he is all of a sudden has tools to beat Khabib?

When was a fight between he and Diaz scheduled?
