Poirier on the idea of fighting Topuria: I want him.

[prime_lobov]

Why in the world would Ilia Topuria want to fight Dustin Poirier?

Easy win and bigger payday than a no-name like Lopes or an old man like Volk

 

[is a]

Dustin has a chance here if Ilia decides to stand and bang, which he most likely could.

Chances of a surprise head kick aren't high either.

What an odd match.... it makes no sense lol

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Actually think it would be a really good fight, would be fun and entertaining.

 

[Fight Professor]

Ilia would land a huge hook one of the times Dustin is pulling up his shorts.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Younger Dp would have made it a war at 150-155 but he’s been through too many wars now.

 

[MDoza]

2-3 in his last 5.

These guys need to get to the back of the line.

Good intro to 155 before getting Islam.

He could put his 'self-aquied' BMF belt on the line for fun promo and shit talk lol.

But, really I think it'll be Volk then they'll give him a shot at Islam.

Bro needs to retire
But if he really wants to get slumped

His performance against Islam was arguably his best performance ever. If he managed to win rd 5 it would have been a split decision loss. Kind of wild to say he should retire after that.

In that case, Conor

 

[Gamer007]

Dustin 3-4 years ago would give him fits, his southpaw stance and longer reach would be difficult to deal with.

Now? It's hard to say, but it would be entertaining. Having a win over the last guy to beat Conor is a nice little feather in his shit talking cap.

 

[AmonTobin]

This sounds like so much fun I’m just not sure how they’d pull it off. Catch weight? For the BMF?

Not really that wild since he himself was talking about retirement even before the fight
Once guys start talking about it, they should just do it IMO

He's been talking about retirement for like 10 years lol

 

[lerobshow]

lol Poirier a wild MF

It’d feel a lot like the fight on the weekend, intense, scary

Sidenote: You near Chiang Mai?

I have an Uncle in law from up near there - beautiful.

Currently in Nakhon Sawan (around 2 hours from Bangkok) but yeah I'm based in Chiang Mai. Beautiful city with great people. Been living there since 2013.

Let me know if you're around let's have a beer!

 

[lerobshow]

Do you need someone to come rescue you?

Yes your mama. Send her over ASAP.

 

[Khaosan]

Back in the day my mom use to travel to Chiang Mai to buy textiles, silk garments and silver jewellery from the locals, to bring back and sell here

On Sherdog?

 

[lerobshow]

What an odd match.... it makes no sense lol

Totally random indeed. But let's be honest -- that would be a fun one. And the fact that it makes no sense makes it better lol.

This is Ilia. It’s not feather in the cap. It’s another rose in the vase.

 

[MEAN357]

Dustin would somehow get submitted

Tbh lol
