Kind of seems like a step down for Poirier think he should've got someone higher ranked but whatever I'm ready to see him pick up another win!

Man, Poirier is miles ahead of Corassani in terms of skill. I figured after 2 solid wins over Koch and Brandao, he'd be getting a decent step up the ladder. Guess not.

Surprised at this match up.  Is everyone else booked?

Not really, Edgar, Korean Zombie rematch (not sure if he is still hurt), Siver none of those guys have a fight lined up

Are you ******* kidding me? Corassani is no where near Poirier. They should have made Stephens/Poirier.

@Poir Edgar has a fight set up with Penn, remember?! The Siver fight would have been nice though. Hell, Charles Oliveira would have been a decent choice.

Cal1 said it. The only positive thing about this fight is we get to see Akira get smashed.

This time he won't be able to get out of this with the other fighter being DQed :)

Can't wait. I predict a 1st round KO. I also think that Poirier put in even more energy because that he wants to prove a statement. HUGE stepdown.

Might be Poirier wanted to stay active and this was the only matchup they could get him right now. Idk. Should be an easy W for him.

I would've liked to see him vs Jeremy Stephens, that would've been the perfect matchup at this point.

You guys don't get it ... UFC brass didn't like Akira's Oscar performance vs. Maximo and he needed to be punished ... enter Dustin Poirier.

Who did Akira piss off to have this happen?
