Poirier’s similarities to Bisping

[The Chosen]

Care to provide a link/ source for that buddy? I'm interested

Thank you. Happy New year!

Considering Poirier compares himself to Bisping’s legacy I think it’s you who needs the ego check buddy!

Bisping's legacy is getting one fluke win over Luke, and otherwise losing every-time he fought someone really good.

Dustin actually had a good streak recently that wasn't built off one win.

 

[toowoomba]

What Dustin's done in his career is worth more than knocking out no chin Luke and riding off into the sunset, belt or no belt

I disagree, what has Dustin done?

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Porirer has the ability to beat the top 5 in the division whereas Bisping.. well you know the story. Bisping hit a home run and ran with it.

Dustin is also 32 years old and still has plenty of fight in him. Bisping was battle worn and at the end of the line, career wise.

I mean Bisping did beat Anderson Silva. Albeit a washed and older Silva but he still beat the so called “GOAT” of the division.

 

[Krayt]

Not really as a striker Bisping is a better boxer and better kicker. Hes slso less prone to brawls and has better takedown defense

Poirier is a far better boxer

It's honestly not close

Off the top of my head beat gaethje, Alvarez, and Max, Bisping may officially have had the belt, but Dustin is more of a champ in and out of the cage

Weird cause Bisping outboxed Anderson Silva and Poirier got boxed up by Korean Zombie

Rockhold, Hendo and Anderson Silva. Bisping is constantly underrated.

Nothing alike
/thread

yeah not really. Bisping got the match with Luke on short notice which certainly aided him

I agree bisping is underrated on here but Rockhold is the only elite fighter he beat in their prime. The best fighters he beat in their primes are Rockhold, Akiyama, and Belcher probably

he had CLOSE decision losses to wanderlei and sonnen. Sonnen at least,was in his prime.

Wand was well past it and still clearly beat Bisping.

That's not a point in favor of Bisping.

It was a close fight. Wand was getting outworked and outpointed,but managed to almost finish bisping at the end of 2 and 3

I haven’t watched the sonnen fight in several years but I remember it being pretty one sided. Could definitely be wrong about that though.

Silva was washed, and Poirier lost to Zombie almost a decade ago.

Poirier outboxed Max Holloway, who is far better than a washed Silva (or any version of Silva really)

def not one sided. Wandy had a hard time closing the distance,and bisping would take him down when he tried.

Just rewatched the chael fight you’re right extremely close fight could actually see an argument for Bisping winning 1 and 2. Think I mixed up the that fight with the Kennedy one. Really a testament to Kennedy’s grappling ability that he could control bisping on the ground for extended periods.
