Still can't believe we are being forced to watch Dustin Poirier get choked out in a title fight for the 3rd time 

Dustin can finish anyone in the LW division. Acting like there isn't a possibility for an upset is just being biased. 

Now will he? I doubt it, but much crazier things have happened and if Volk could piece up Islam like he did in their first fight, Dustin is absolutely live.

Volk is also 5x the wrestler Dustin is. If he tries to guillotine him, Islam will take his back and choke him. He's gotta stay off the fence. They can't get takedowns without the fence. I just don't believe in him at all, as much as I'd love to see it

Yeah I don't disagree with you. A gully to win the belt would be absolutely perfect, but it would be so dumb to try for. Needs to stay away from the fence like you said and really utilize the uppercut.

Uppercut would be big. and be the aggressor. Too many people let Islam dictate the pace and let him back them up. Stand your ground or move forward

I love both these fighters, but Dustin has an uphill battle.  His boxing is definitely crisper, and he has a punchers chance.  The problem is Islam can take a punch, and his wrestling is too good.  Poirier can win this fight, but Islam wins 8 out of 10 times imo.

was chillin with a homie watching old game shows and then another homie facetimed, which he never does, so i'm thinking this must be something crazy. i answer and he's at the casino and talking to colby covington. he put colby on the phone and the other homie i was chillin with was popping hard for colby lol. we were just saying a bunch of bull**** and then colby went on a pretty long spiel about how we were great guys and gonna have a lotta success in life and **** lol. somebody asked is garry next? colby's like nah oliveira lol. but yeah that was crazy. colby apparently was there alone kinda incognito, but when my homie recognized him he was as cool as could be.
