We all need to be careful to not underestimate Brookins. He's been counted of fights that he's won in convincing fashion, and Dustin is coming off of a very disappointing loss to KZ. The questions here are, has Poirier gotten over that defeat and forgotten about it, or is it still looming in his head? How much has Brookins improved from his last fight? Is he really ready for a top 10 fighter like Poirier? I honestly think that this should be Poirier's fight for the taking, but Brookins is the gambler's underdog. This should be a really good fight, and if Poirier wins, then it should get him back on track to getting a title shot in 1 or 2 wins against some top 10 opposition, but if Brookins wins, it would be a huge setback for Poirier, and a great win for Brookins.

Kalibo, I thought the KZ/Poirier fight was FOTY so far so I wouldn't say he got destroyed.
