The first round of Poirier BSD reminded me Khabib domination

[ehxsur]

Complete pressure, agression, domination in wrestling clinch and stuff from BSD

Too bad BSD was sick i'm sure he would be able (maybe) to finish Doostin in the first or second round if he was able to keep the pace

I hope his chin is not deteriorated already, because this guy can be the next khabib, minus the perfect resume

BSD is basicaly khabib but who like to bang, which cost him the L last night

I think i developped my point a bit farther than that

First round BSD can only be matched by motivated BJ Penn.

He doesn't have Khabib's chin on his best day. He can become a great lightweight one day, but he's not the next Khabib. Islam is a closer goal.

Multiple ways to look at this fight, and this is a weird take as there are several counters. First, it's a classic case of a veteran vs. up and comer with the veteran being more savvy. Poirier is certainly not easy to finish on the ground and stayed very fresh himself. Another is that Poirier was giving him the takedowns with the guillotine attempts. Once he stopped that, BSD seemed lost. Lastly, Poirier dropping a round and coming back is not new. Look at Rd 2 Chandler/Poirier followed by Rd 3. It's a big mistake trying to finish Poirier on the ground quickly and dumping gas. You'll likely be in for some scrambles and a high pace.

BSD released more energy than Khabib typically does, at least in that early of a fight in terms of throwing punches and going for subs etc. Khabib wanted maximum control first.

I mean, he’s basically Khabib but who like to bang so you better take that back, bro.

khabib slowly broke his opponents. he had one first round finish in his entire ufc career.

BSD dumped his gas tank in the first round.

Without the chin. Not a good combo...

I was making fun of TS…

If Khabib, even early in his career, had Dustin's back with that much time left on the clock he'd of strangled him. BSD is a good wrestler with heart who's "crazy and little bit stupid".

Lol get over it already, this is like the third thread you open on the same topic. BSD lost cause Poirier is better and he is just still not in a position to hang with the elite.

 

[swizztony]

lol not even close, prime poirier said khabib was like nothing he’s ever faced before and the most technical grappler he’s ever felt. The same washed up Poirier said BSD was strong in the clinch but that’s it, he had no power in his hands and was very loose and non technical in his grappling.

If Poirier didn’t jump gilly after every takedown attempt he wouldve even won the first round

My bad. It's early..

 

[Masturbin]

Reminds you of FKL also I guess

 

[Wetarmpits]

Reminds you of FKL also I guess

Who would have steamrolled Khabib so just another reason to call BDS the Khabib who like to bang.

It’s better Khabib but different.

 

[swimba]

So...BSD is FKL?

 

[Wetarmpits]

So...BSD is FKL?

No
It’s Khabib who like to bang

KWLTB

Obviously

Kabib was more methodical and measured, dominating with technique.

BSD looked more like Rojas Jr. or Phil Baroni. He was doing well 90% based on aggression and athleticism, not technique.b
