That's more so what I meant just worded it poorly and true, completely forgot about that one.
It was kinda like Moraes vs Loughnane with how intense the striking battle got.

Justin was shockingly good against Fiziev wouldn't be surprised for him to do the same again here!

I'm not crazy confident but to the eye it looks a solid line to have a dog shot at no??

Dustin Poirier, TKO, R3
I love both of these guys a lot so its gonna be a tough watch. I just think that Dustin is a level above. Both these guys are always in fun fights. I think Justin has amassed a lot more damage over the years. He said he’s changed his approach n that but im not sure if it will work against Dustin. Anytime Justin has fought against the top, top guys in the division, he has fallen short. I expected Justin to lose against Fiziev. I thought Fiziev being more controlled and so technical with his striking would cause big problems for the more wild Justin. I was obviously wrong and Gaethje showed out. In the meantime, Dustin had the two Conor fights. I think those fights did a lot for Dustins confidence. He also managed to finish Chandler when Justin went to decision. Man… this fight could really go in any way you could imagine. Both men are dogs and never shy away from meeting in the middle. I think the BMF belt is a nice little addition to this fight. I think the winner of this fight, especially if one wins in spectacular fashion, gets to fight for the belt next. Thats huge. Lot of pressure… and i like Dustin more in these pressure situations. I think team ATT are master tacticians and can adjust on the fly too. Im picking Dustin to win. I see it being a finish. Maybe even quicker than last time they fought. Don’t think Dustin will want to stand there for too long and take those calf kicks again. I can even see a sub win for Dustin. Just think both these guys are too proud to start grappling. Don’t think either guy will go for a takedown, but a wild scramble could present a choke opportunity.
