PBP UFC 318 - Holloway vs. Poirier 3 Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 7/19 at 10pm ET

There's four aspects for effective striking.
*Quickness (hand speed)
*Reaction Time (both defensive & offensive)
*Movement Speed (Moving the body in and out)
*Power

Max had all four.
Dustin just had power.

I'm if the opinion the last time we saw Dustin in his prime was against Gaethje in the rematch.

Dusin still has good reactions he caught max a few times coming in, max is just a dog and eats them

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

point to the ground and start striking them, they won't expect that

i think body is OK, and then you go 30% to the head to remind them

 

[surgeyou1]

Deserves this way more than Anthony Smith but at this rate half the UFC is going to get a retirement video package

 

[MDoza]

Lmao even in Poiriers send off, they feature Anthony Smith

Can’t make this shit up

 

[ledonk]

Aura famring from max top tier

He's been doing it since the beginning. Great guy.

 

[Kalmah]

Anthony smith video package incoming

He's in the video, close enough. Couldn't even get some former opponents lmao.

 

[gosuasus]

Holloway's kid is taller than Joe Rogan.

Now we know the reason why Joe ducked this event.

 

[Thad Castle v2]

Dustin deserves a good send off. Fuck the dumb ass haters

 

[ExitLUPin]

Not many fighters deserve a tribute like this for their final fight and to get it in their hometown but Dustin is easily one of them.

Man it's gonna be weird as fuck to watch UFC without Dustin fighting. I think he was 20 when he first fought in WEC. I remember that doc from before the Fighter or something.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

lol at the folks hating on Dustin for not possibly getting corpsed for no good reason in front of his whole family in his last fight.

I'm more angry about that than I am at him losing. How DARE he?!?!

 

[ledonk]

Lmao even in Poiriers send off, they feature Anthony Smith

Can’t make this shit up

I wonder if he'll talk about how he'd beat Pereira.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Even Conor wouldn't shoot there

Like he shot on Diaz?

 

[Tapatio]

Oh god. Too much anthony smith

 

[Oku]

Going to miss seeing DP in the octagon. What a legend.

 

[Da Speeit]

i'm buying them. and then i'm going to no-gi grappling and i'm going to white belt motherfuckers

RIP their ACLs

 

[MDoza]

Damn did Izzy just say Dustin was an average guy with no talent that just worked really hard?

 

[HenryFlower]

Nah. He didn't do it to start. He's weak. Suredawggers, though.

if you’re not a gigantic pussy, you point to the center of the octagon at second 1 of the first & never fuckin’ leave. max ain’t a real man

 

[ledonk]

This is a nice touch and all, but it seems a bit crazy to do this. It's like if the pope retired.

 

[airic_15]

Poirier had his plan in his mind to wait and counter with a perfect right hand right on the button and it didnt even faze max

 

[HolmeZy55]

Not the best send off video tbh, also ruined it with this stupid song smh
