Just watched Poirier vs Pettis

after the ref stopped it so the doc could take a look at the cut then restarted it and Pettis got that triangle choke I thought he was going to get it but the blood and sweat didn't help.


yeah man pettis was getting some sweet shit off. i loved that little sweep he did where he was on his back, faking an upkick but then he hooked his foot round poiriers back foot and knocked him down with the other leg lol
 
Poirier is a different animal. He's grown into his body, and fighting in a different weight class. He's 28 years old, just entering his prime, and has trained with the best of them over at ATT. One of the best all around fighters in the UFC with great cardio.

I'd like to see Poirier vs Alvarez 2 no matter what the outcome will be w/ Gaethje... He could face the winner of Khabib vs Barbosa or even Kevin lee. Either way, he's moving up the latter for title contention...
Now that you mention him, kevin lee vs poirier would be a solid matchup. Close fight.
