Dustin is just an incredible G. Even in the middle of eating bombs from Chandler he didn't look the least bit concerned at any time, talking calmly to the ref. lol

I didn’t expect Poirier by Submission. Chandler has really good wrestling and skills. But his "tough guy" mentality played against him again as against Gaethje, Chandler focused only on taking Dustin to the ground, Poirier knew how to reverse the position and pass to back control.

Thankfully Islam is fighting Volk, because thats a bad matchup for Dustin. I'd rather he get a big fun money fight in the meantime. Kick Conor's ass one more time.

I respect Miragliotta, but he should have taken at least one point from Chandler for the repetitive punches on the back of the head. Miragliotta definitely should have lifted them back to the Standing Fight after the illegal strikes by Chandler in the top position.
