    He was coming in with a if I win get a title shot if not oh well, where as gaethje really needed this and losing this fight would ruin his retirement and possibly his life so he wasn't trying to lose and knew he was going to flatline Dustin for sure just shocking to see it the way it happened

    I’m a fan of both but gaethje is my favorite UFC fighter. But Poirier took his loss like a real man and didn’t make any excuses and have gaethje his props. I’d really like to see a 3rd fight in the future. Especially if one of these guys become champ.

    Refusing to make a single excuse. Someone to admire and look up to.

    Justin adding headkicks to his arsenal makes him so much more dangerous since pple expect his leg kick

    Never thought I'd see Poirier falling stiff like that.
    Also, that last guy has clearly never seen a Dustin Poirier fight before 🙄

    I like both fighters for their skills and accomplishments in fighting. I was hoping DP would win but it’s fighting and things can happen. Justin is tough and it will be exciting to see his next move.all the best to DP….👍
