Blazer026 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 According to Poirier, Alvarez turned down the rematch 5 times. Not sure who's next for Poirier if it's not Alvarez or a title shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets up close, throws them almost in the clinch or on the end of combos, making it super hard to see them coming and defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Snack Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 listened to TFTK podcast today and i kinda like the idea that schaub through out there for 155. Tony is out atleast a year with the severity of his injury and Conor could be out as long with legal issues. His idea was for Khabib to come out and tell Dustin and Eddie to not take other fights but to line them both up about 4 months apart. He said take Dustin 1st and then Alvarez and if he gets by both then He really builds up a fight with Conor for early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Eddie wins the second one and we end up with the rematch no one really wants between Eddie and Conor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware that they had a huge impact on this fight and have in the past but the best kicker in the UFC finishes fights with them like Barboza. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That freakin sucks!! 2. So what if...dare i say it. Khabib loses? With that set up he basically is saying Dustin has no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If eddie wins that then he earns a rematch with conor imo after taking out khabib and tony. If tony wins then that is a fight everyone still wants to see.

If he loses to either then so be it the merry go round keeps spinning. Conor always has the nate trilogy waiting for him if he doesnt want to fight eddie or dustin again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big poppa pump Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Any thoughts on this weekend's ME? I think Lee would be stupid to try and stand with Barboza. He will get his azzzz...(or legs) kicked in. If he wrestles with him???? it should be an ez victory for Lee. Although Lee doesn't have the wrestling chops as Khabib, he still should be able to get him to the mat and do work. Would love to see Barboza kick his head off his shoulders though.

Its just kahbib mauled him once he was down. I think barboza gets up easier against lee and this is a pretty close fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barboza has 5 if i checked that right. Both dont exactly have high-profile wins but I still think Edson is the more prolific kicker. Gaethje was murdering Poirier's legs, dont get me wrong, but Edson is still more likely to end someone's night with them imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
