He continues to get better on price (up to +145 in some spots), and my opinion all along has been to wait, that most casuals are going to bet Poirier and the line will continue to steam...anyone agree?

I've watched both these men since their beginning in the UFC (Poirier from WEC to UFC)
I went with Chandler against Charles via first round KO, man when he dropped him and didn't finish him?!
I'm not sure who to go with, but gut is saying Charles.

The key is that Charles has been stopped a lot, and has never kod anyone with a good chin.
His best ko is obviously Mike C, whereas Dustin has a highlight reel and against deadly strikers.

But we're also kinda breezing past the fact that Chandler DID dominate the striking exchange, and had he not dived into Charles' guard, he'd probably have won by first round KO, and all the previous narratives would have been proven true.
Dustin can do all that, but without the glass chin or gassing late. Dustin will still be dogging him in the 5th, if it gets there.

I think it also crazy that the Cody Garbrant vs Dom Cruz fight was already 5 years ago, They be a few of the hardcores who never seen that fight and wonder what the hype on Cody, I swear a lot of people including me still pick Cody everytime just because that performance agaist Cruz was that good
I will say this fight might be one of the biggest for Cody, He doesn't want to be a one hit wonder, 1-5 in the UFC and most likely cut as he'll be on the former champion money, I'm rooting for him to be so as I really like him,I'm exited for it as it also big for Kai to beat a former champion, it be a banger

I think you are underrating Cody a bit...he has been fighting the best of the best, and hardly embarrassed himself. He knocked TJ down in the 1st fight, and had the round been a bit longer probably would've stopped it. Who knows if TJ was doping during those fights too. He was beating Munoz but let his fight IQ get the best of him and turn into a brawl bro. He has had pretty severe back problems and had to get stem cell treatments (in germany i think?) and had a severe bout with COVID too, so he certainly has had his fair share of issues. I always wanted to see Cody drop down though because he never cut much weight, and he did leave himself at a size disadvantage quite a few times (especially against Font). I think we will see a vintage Cody performance against Kai, unless somehow the weight cut does drain him, you never know unfortunately, but I would lean on the former.

I agree Cody is mad overrated, but people are just saying a lot of untrue things about him. He cut 10 pounds to make bantamweight; this cut is going to be nothing for him. His chin being weak is just nonsense too; watch those three losses, he lost because he decided to get in a brawl and leave his chin up. Also im not going to hold the font loss against him because I dont know who the **** thought Cody would ever stand a chance against font. KKF is mad underrated yes, but flyweight top 15 is much different skill wise then BW top 15. Bontorin is his best win and I dont think bontorin would even be top 25 if he went to bantamweight (which he easily could im almost positive bontorin is 155 or more walk around).
