      oh and @ our tech
      dan hooker is one of the dumbest fighters on the whole ufc roster
      watch his interview with the new zealand woman, but be careful cuz you will lose iq points
      he talks like a cave man, but not in the savage good way, just in the "look how savy i am " low iq my brain is a rock style
      and he fights like this also.
      god bless him he got a strong healthy body to be able to compete, cuz his brain alone wouldnt get him anywhere he would probably be a construction worker if not getting punched in the brain for a living.

      yeah, it was like they were watching a different fight altogether. Standard UFC push. Trying to create another superstar. They were pushing for a Gaetje/Khabib superfight as soon as Gaetje got signed. DC is mainly a color commentator, but when he sees something technical he's specific and generally right on. Anik usually calls the fight in front of him but doesn't bring a lot of insight to the fight. Rogan?? Who knows what he's watching? For a guy that's been cage side for what? 20 years or so I guess, he doesnt't have a clue. God forbid there's a Jiu Jitsu fightero. Then we get to listen to another doctoral dissertation on the efficasy of BJJ. You're calling a PPV event. Everyone watching paid a lot of money to see the fights. We know what BJJ is dipshit.

    A few things people are underselling
    1: Dustin's chin. Dustin hasn't been knocked out in years, and he's faced the likes of JG, Holloway, Pettis and Hooker since then. Conor's chances of knocking him out are *much* slimmer now.
    2: Dustin's submission game. Dustin has 4 wins via submission in his UFC career(7 total), and Conor's only 4 losses are via submission.
    Dustin has the better cardio, his bjj is arguably superior, and he's vastly improved in all other areas.
    It will be a far closer fight than the naysayers are giving it credit. And if it goes into the championship rounds/Dustin can take him down, I truly believe Dustin will win.

      Eh, Dustin got hit a lot vs Dan Hooker. Conor’s arguably the best striker in the UFC next to Adesanya/Silva. If Dustin gets hit the way he did against Dan... it’ll be a quicker win for Conor. I think Conor’s timing and precision will be too much for Poirier. I think he will put up a good fight, I just don’t think the combination of Conor’s dynamite of a left hand and accuracy is a good one for Poirier. I’m not saying it’ll be a first round KO for Conor, but I’m definitely predicting a 2nd or 3rd round TKO.
      Side note: I don’t think the grappling will matter. Dustin can’t take Conor down.

    • @akshayazariah
      @akshayazariah 3 роки тому +8

      @Bob C I think people don't get it -- Hooker is a longer striker with more angles, and Conor facing a southpaw means that the concept of lead-foot dominance being absent will make it ten times harder to set up his left cross. He uses his jab/right hook as a range finder, and he's done it against southpaws for so long, by now, people know the left is going to follow (Khabib and Chad Mendes circled to the left to avoid it), kinda like Mirko's left high-kick.

  • @roycekennethminordevera2870
    @roycekennethminordevera2870 Рік тому +2

    One of the most important factors why Dustin's style is effective is because he is a right handed southpaw. By being in a Southpaw stance while still being a right hand dominant allowed Dustin to have more Arsenals and more options with his attacks and be creative in there that really make his opponents confuse and shell up by shifting stance in the middle of his combination. Everything in his right side stings, his jab is a power jab, his check hook is a power check hook etc etc. Leading with your dominant hand is unorthodox because usually fighters or boxers put their dominant hand in the rear to land power shots but you just compromise yourself because you rely so much on your dominant hand on the rear but by being a right handed southpaw it allows you to open new possibilities of combos seen in Dustin Poirier fighs.
    -In his fight with Max, Dustin throw a winging left hand and use that momentum to switch conventional and land a massive over hand right that really hurts Max.
    -In his 2nd fight with Conor it was a lead right hook that put Conor down to the mat and another lead right hook to knock him out senseless.
    -In his 3rd fight with Conor, Dustin landed a lead right hook to Conor that really got Conor's attention and allowed Dustin to overwhelm Conor and make him clinch.
