Rumored RDA calls for Poirier fight at dec 2

Poirier would tko him. Dunno where Poirier bad tdd talk comes from. He lost to Khabib and Oliviera but so does everyone else in div lol.

It ain't awful but Hooker and Chandler took him down several times, only difference between them and RDA, is the brazilian will go for a sub easier than them.
 
Poirier ain't taking a fight night.
He has 2 of the top 5 MMA PPVs all time

Poirier vs Conor 2 1,500,000
Poirier vs Conor 3 1,600,000

Those are probably 8 figure checks or damn close to it.

When was the last time he wasn't a PPV headliner?
UFC 281.
 
Cool. Thanks.

Dustin has headlined 10 of his last 11 since fighting Eddie Alvarez the first time at UFC 211 in 2017. 6 years ago.

I would love to see him fight RDA.
Both have had amazing careers, both have earned the utmost respect in the MMA world.

But I think Dustin is unlikely to take that fight in a fight night card. I could be wrong.
 
I was thinking RDA should fight Bobby Green but I guess Bobby Green can fight Jalin Turner instead while RDA fights Poirier. And RDA and Poirier are both legends of the sport close to retirement so the matchup makes a lot of sense from that perspective as well
 
RDA is nearly 5 years older.
You retirement crybabies are terrible.

Awesome fight, going with Poirier. Rda having his moments with his wrestling.
If you lose against RDA you are ready for retire or BKFC.

RDA 38 years... Must fight unranked fighters and prospects if he lose. Better for him is retire.
 
Man RDAs longevity is insane. Looked like a journeyman when he first started then turned into this great grappler with powerful pressure striking. His performance against cowboy was devastating when he defended the title. His Colby fight was close too. Great WW and LW. He's gotta to be in the top 30 fighters of all time. And he's still pretty fucking good. This would be a great fight
 
RDA still beats a decent percentage of the top 10
 
now that's a dumb fight, Colby barely fights and has avoided every contender in his division for years, fighting Poirier would just be a continuation of that

good point, you changed my mind. would rather see colby vs a contender.

i don't want to see Poirier vs RDA tho, that's bellator level garbage
