Poirier vs. Masvidal?

[DoNoootin]

Who would you pick?

 

[Travis Alexander]

Which weight?
LW I’d favor Poirer
WW id favor Mas
Also they are friends and long time teammates so this is pure fantasy.

I have a feeling people will disagree with me but Masvidal unless Poirier implements the toe smashing strategy against the cage. It just isn't Dustin's style tho. Usman has mastered the art of neutralizing.

True. I probably agree with the predictions too.

Yeah, isn't gonna happen; would be great though.

Gamebred by stoppage due to strikes Round 2

 

[Willek]

They are both ATT captains.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

Masvidal I think.....he has a good chin, gas tank and is probably better than Poirier everywhere

 

[Franklin U.]

Maz too big for Dustin.... and his boxing too technical for Dp. If Poirier took him down, he couldnt keep him down.

Maz not a huge welter but AT THIS POINT - too big to try and cut back down to 155.

Covering the angles.

masvidal is a bit too much for poirer. I would rather see full camp Masvidal rematch against Usman

Masvidal would baptise him. Never ever been finished on the feet(one fake way too early stoppage loss), his striking is more fluid and a notch more technical, plus a little bit bigger, Dustin isn't gonna make it against him. I think Dustin could beat Masvidal on points pre-resurrection, but post-resurrection nah man.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

They’re friends. Probably about the same size now, I’d take Dustin by dec

Masvidal is much too much for poirer. But people love this full camp masvidal theory. Thing is, fighters have shown over the years that full camps don’t always mean everything. I get that that’s different for every fighter but usman controlled him so handily it doesn’t give me much hope that a full camp would change much in a rematch between those two.

 

[Goodfella86]

I'd take Poirier via decision.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Poirier ain’t beating Masvidal.

 

[d0g]

Poirier by brutal knock out. Poirier would never lose to guys like Wonderboy and Benson Henderson.

 

[Ice Hotel]

Lol Poirier would get clapped

 

[Shak_Fu]

I'd probably lean Jorge Masvidal: size advantage, more punishing strikes and a good enough ground game

 

[The Dark Haze]

Masvidal easily

• bigger
• stronger
• more durable
• more heart
• hits harder
• Better boxer
• better kicks
• better wrestler

Overall just a better fighter than Dustin
