News Poirier trains 6 rounds of wrestling with a new guy every round. Is Khabib DONE?

[suhdude]

"These guys rotating in on me, it might be their first round, but it’s my fourth. I’m doing six rounds of grappling or something; they have a guy on the sidelines waiting to jump in at Round 4."

What an animal!

"Khabib can have the other 364 days a year. I just need 25 minutes on Sept. 7. He can have everything else. I just need to be better for 25 minutes, and I’m 100 percent sure I can do that."

Oh my.

"I take lessons from each session. If I make a mistake when I get tired, then I try not to make that same mistake again when I’m in that position."

High IQ mentality

Dustin will be put on his back and mauled..
All this shit is wishful thinking.

Well that's good that Poirier is training his wrestling and making sure his cardio is on par for the fight

I don't think Khabib is done but I feel like this should be his toughest fight so far

 

[nostradumbass]

Uh, no. You think Poirier is going to make up 30 years of wrestling in 1 training camp?

 

[Reign009]

DP is really being overlooked in this fight.

He's got a good chance to shock the world.

 

[sometimesmaybe]

This will be Khabib's toughest fight to date. I'll almost guarantee you that Khabib is doing the exact same type of wrestling training or something very similar.

 

[SportRuiners]

he should just practice flying knee instead of grappling

 

[Chagaev]

So Dastin's gonna get KTFO.

 

[hillelslovak87]

I remember how Diego Corrales was fucking up his training partners left and right before the Floyd fight..............

 

[trident]

Cant make up for a lifetime of being behind in this aspect. Khabib, wrestling bears at 8. Dustin, going 6 rounds with freshies, now.

Theres a gap there.

 

[timoteo]

none pf that stuff really sounds like the key ingredient to get him the w but regardless i think hes going to pull off the upset

 

[DADA360]

Uh, no. You think Poirier is going to make up 30 years of wrestling in 1 training camp?

Yeah it’s the first time he’s ever wrestled isn’t that crazy

 

[IloveTHIS]

Dustin is never, ever, ever, ever going to out wrestle Khabib.

But, he will still win the FIGHT and give Khabib his first ever loss.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Big Khabib fan but something about a yank going to the Middle East and dropping bombs on the hometown hero is pretty hilarious.

 

[Smoozy69]

I'm going with Dustin for the upset. KO, late in the 4th round.

Big Khabib fan but something about a yank going to the Middle East and dropping bombs on the hometown hero is pretty hilarious.

Should be an explosive fight in the Middle East.

 

[DLX]

Glad to see he's smart about his training.

But I just don't think it'll be enough for the Dagestani Bear.

So that’s means he will endure a lot of punishment
