I personally don’t want to watch this fight that much with Khabib being so dommunte, it hard to root for him, khabib fans alway say he got like 20 finish in his 28 wins but he got most of the out of the ufc and only got about 4 in the ufc so he a desicion machine, I personally don’t mind watching wrestling but i only like watching competive fight or fight when People dye in the first round

Tied for 872nd
hey guys i got 3/11 in china last week (lol i know smh) so you can disregard my thoughts but i agree with Filth that Al would lose a solid dec against Dustin he would out box him and Al would only survive to the end bc of hard Wantagh Long Island will and Bruce youre right that Khabib will probably get Dustins neck or win a dec but Dustin wont just throw single shots at Khabib like MJ, Al, or MG... Dustin will string his combos in a way that Khabib has never seen before and has a good chance at hurting or maybe getting the KO from an angle that Khabib doesnt see coming
i got Khabib for the win but I got a feeling that Dustin is gonna fake the left and come up with right to hit Khabib clean and either he takes it like a champ or he goes down and the USA has a new champ
also *** MJ has to be the most inconsistent fighters ever dude has wins on Tony Dustin Edson and more lol and now he getting KOd by 45ers MMA is funny sometimes

Iaquinta KOs are from Lauzon, Pearson, Damnn, and ******* Andy Ogle!
Thats not really impressive. While Poirier has KO/TKO wins over Pettis, Alvarez and Justin Gaethje who are all big names! How are you still comparing Al to Poirier? You’re in-denial man. Go to sleep, you’re taking this wayyy to seriously.
Khabib should be favored to win but you’re acting like Dustin Poirier has no chance.. it’s mma. Anything can happen.

Nice comment @Adrian if Dustin KO's Khabib i'll be the dumbest person in this sites history. I agree that Dustin does pose a certain type of human-flesh that The Eagle has yet to experience in real combat. With that being said, IMO, which i'm very confident in, Dustin will just be another piece of warm flesh for Khabib to manipulate. Besides Colby, which Dustin isn't training with, who could possibly represent the wrestling of Khabib? Its CERTAINLY not Mike Brown.
Dustin vs Ragin Al would be awesome and yea, I might even pick Dustin. I never said Al would beat Dustin,
I was merely comparing averages. Because deep down thats what those men are, is average. The Mayor gave Poirier a key to the city and only like 30 people showed up. Almost ten thousand people greeted Khabib at the airport after his W over Conor.
To the people playing the "anything can happen" card...Yea, that's what happens when over the majority hypes up Andrade and then loses embarrassingly.
Now the opposite is going to happen again. The majority seems to believe Dustin is legit, WELL then more than likely watch him fold rapidly in near pathetic fashion.

Dustin is definitely the toughest fight for Khabib other than Tony in the division. If Khabib just merks him I'll be blown away. I give Poirier a very good chance of getting it done however. Before the Holloway fight, I'd have said forget about it, but having seen how far his boxing has come, and his cardio, it's a different deal now. Comparing Iaquinta's boxing to poirier's is ridiculous, Dustin is on a whole different level. He would smoke Al.

Why is it ridiculous? Dustin hasn't fought Khabib yet, Al has and went to DEC. Dustin aint gonna last brotha.
Dustin hasn't fought Tony. Or Barboza. Or Islam. Fought this day-n-age Pettis who is 1 superman-punch KO win from being a total bum.
Khabib was going to R@pe Holloway remember? Dustin did out-punch the fatter, random matched Holloway. Big deal. Honestly. Big whoop.
This isn't a boxing match...
and even if it was..
.Poirier didn't drop Conor, Poirier couldn't eat MJ's shots. I mean what actual proof do you have that Khabibs boxing is worse? There is none. You've just seen Dustin punching a lot of high-level fighters lately. Congrats.
Holloway didn't shoot. Eddie is a pathetic wrestler. Gaethje was too dumb to shoot. Pettis is old and washed up, quit via "broken rib".
Dustin Poirier is still the guy who would CRUMBLE under Conor and pretended to be unconscious vs TKZ.

Dustin cried because a bunch of blue-collar randoms showed up for this shin-dig with the Mayor. Khabib has never nor will ever shed a tear. Its beneath him to show weakness.
Dustin has found a way out of several fights. Khabib has not faltered for an instance.

You're right its no boxing match and Khabibs grappling has been far too much for anything anyone has had versus him. I have to say Poirier has the better striking of the 2. Ita Khabibs grappling that allows him to land thw majority of his strikes.
Anyway Khabib is definitely a favourite for a reason. I would like Poirier to win just coz I'm a fan of his and even though it's not likely I'll still pick him to win.

He's got about as much chance of winning as you do at getting a positive post score. @Filth
I should know. I went from -125 to this.
Dagestan doesn't care for the weak because they're not weak and being weak is not allowed. Which is a trait every dominant civilization has.
