Saying "this is my house" is corny as hell considering he works for Dana like every other fighter. He can't claim the UFC as his house when he doesn't even have a belt. Neither of them are humble and should be glorified. They both have inflated egos. Mike is just insecure about being a gatekeeper but that doesn't make him fake or any less real than Dustin lmao.

I love Chandler but am on the fence about the blood/snot/fishhook saga... even Porier said they're in kill-mode things like this can happen but regardless, the point was his honesty and I cannot confirm or deny this whole camera watching thing bc he sat & admitted what he said to Chandler in the interviews: "This is my house..."; "You're a dirty mother-trucker..."; "Respect...";

i thought the same thing Dustin really was not getting hit clean it showed he didn't get dropped from punches. kinda funny cuz Dustin's punches seem to hurt chandler pretty bad.

Dustin has a better chin for sure. Still positive Chandler hits harder.

@rafayg7376 Жыл бұрын

@@Rinkachichirikumei without a doubt he does. The thing with Dustin is he's not pure power. It's a mixture of accuracy, technique, timing along with his physical prowess. Chandler is a front runner, in the first round he's at his most powerful.

@alcottdevalte7440 Жыл бұрын

@@Rinkachichirikumei I'm not sure Chandler hits harder than Dustin. The big reason Chandler ko'd Dan was because he had a war with Dustin first. Dustin dropped Oliveira 3 times, finished Gaethje and Eddie while Chandler couldn't finish Gaethje, dropped Oliveira once, and went 9 rounds against Eddie...

Dustin’s thoughtfulness and clear headed perspective makes him a very dangerous fighter. He keeps his cool in the face of some serious fire and I’ll always respect that about him. Better than what he brings to the Octagon though, he’s a genuinely good dude…everyone ought to respect that.

I think the legacy that Dustin Poirier has created is already much bigger than lot of champions. Even if he doesn't become Champion, UFC should give him the Hall of Fame. I mean look at the freaking list of W man... Connor, Gaethje, Holloway, Eddie Alvarez, Pettis, Jim Miller, Johnson, Dan Hooker. Some would say this is the best CV in LW division.

@faizanyt Жыл бұрын

@@guybenmicha2902 ya, i think he already is the best UFC fighter who hasn't become an undisputed champion. In some different era he could've easily been a champion. He's much better fighter than some of the previous LW champions like Eddie Alvarez, RDA, Benson Henderson, Anthony Pettis and I'd say better than Connor.
