GDT: UFC 236: Holloway vs. Poirier 2

[pistolpete11]

Rose is gangster as f*** going into Brazil to fight a Brazilian as the champ. I don't know what the record is of Brazilians fighting in Brazil, but it makes for a cool story.

 

[K Fleur]

Probably the best I've watch since Korean Zombie got KOed in the last second.

Yeah don’t want to prisoner of the moment, but I think it’s in my top 5 favorite fights ever.

 

[pistolpete11]

These poor guys have no chance of following that fight lol.

Don't know about that. These 2 guys are tough as shit and Max is a non-stop pressure fighter. Especially as the fight goes on.

I can't remember the other recent slugfest that went five rounds, wish I could. It was definitely on a PPV.

 

[pistolpete11]

I almost hate these fights. I like both of these guys a lot. All I can really hope for is a great fight.

 

[K Fleur]

Both these guys are way better fighters than they were when they fought the first time.

Excited for this.

Very true.. I'll still be shocked if Hollway loses this one. He's gotten too damn good.

I just have a funny feeling Blessed gets stopped before round 5.

Can't think of anything since Whittaker v Romero 2 last year.

 

[m9]

Poirier looks thick in a good way.

 

[K Fleur]

Poirier looks f***ing huge for a Lightweight.

 

[darko]

Stick to 145 Max

 

[DaBadGuy316]

Poirier hits heavy!

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Oof. Tonight might not be Max's night.

Maybe you're wrong, lol. Fun first round, at least.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Why's Porier look like f***ing Deadpool lol.

 

[Canes]

That might have been Holloway's worst round in his whole career. But he's still somehow standing.

 

[pistolpete11]

Damn! What a round. Definitely goes to Poirier. One weakness of Max not having much of a grappling game is that he can't really tie up when he's rocked a little. Poirier was able to just keep unloading on him.

 

[m9]

Poirier is so much stronger than Max, but he's slowing down.

 

[member 51464]

Between Dustin and Joubin earlier, Lafayette churns out some good looking dudes.

 

[darko]

20-17

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Maybe you're wrong, lol. Fun first round, at least.

He came back in the second looking more poised, but lost it again in the last minute and a half. Once he gets stunned he looks lost.

Poirer just looks way more powerful. He's not really affected by Holloway's punches.

 

[DaBadGuy316]

Poirier will gas before he knocks out Max.

 

[pistolpete11]

Poirier stole that round late. The power discrepancy is a huge factor, but can Poirier keep it up?
