also his kicks will be a lot harder to use properly since it's southpaw vs southpaw.

I love BSD. He's violent af and fun to watch, but I think this he's biting off a little more than he can chew here. This is a really big jump up in competition

@AyyLmaonnaise 
is calling BSD a fraud cause he ko'd his darling Frevola and he's still butthurt. 

You don't finish Moises + Frevola dominantly like that if you're a fraud.

Damn lookin forward to this fun main card, quality matchups imo,

TBH I'm really glad Porier didn't duck BSD and wait around for an obvious 'money only' fight

BSD is one of those prospects that dumps early to try to get you out of there. That doesn't usually work when you get to the highest level. Dustin knows this and I bet it was him that wanted 5 rounds. If BSD doesn't get him out of there in the first 2 rounds Dustin can pour it on late and get the finish or take a DEC.

the gap between frevola and dustin is planetary but i feel like dustin has a toe out the door (said this about a lot of vets with mixed results). glad it’s a 5 rounder tho get to see what benoit is really made of against the upper echelon

I'm still riding with Jailton despite all the hate after the Derrick fight but Curtis will be the proper test. 

I would love to see Almeida fighting Ciryl down the line

People heavily caught in the Benoit hype, the one time he didn’t fight a journeymen with the a 6/5 or 5/4 ufc record he was on the end of one of the worst beatings in UFC. Big stepup, if it goes to the later rounds DP most likely takes over unless that headkick did him in

I wouldn’t be surprise if Benoit St Dennis grappling work in this fight, Dustin hasn’t beaten any grappler, best grappler he beaten is either Hooker or Chandler, and both were getting multiple takedowns on him.

Benoit is a pretty good grappler and Dustin is getting older

@DamienHandel420 
his grappling is super solid but i’m worried that he’s going to try to brawl and be a fan favorite especially as a co headliner on a massive card. could be reading too far into it though

That my point, Dan Hooker isn’t the best grappler, even if he an underrated one in my opinion. Benoit has to try and get his grappling going

And if Benoit St Dennis try and brawl with Dustin, Dustin has way cleaner boxing and that won’t go well

Sheesh was on the fence but at 35 Dusti is very shop worn, not sure how anyone could miss it but BSD will be much bigger.

No hate on whomever wins the fight, but I dig the idea of some new faces being in that top mix and shaking things up, so I'm hoping BSD gets the W

I think its 1 step to fast for st-Denis. He should have face Turner, hooker, Chandler or similar before. I dont think Poirier is done. I will have prefer Poirier vs Fiziev.

I think this is one of those fights that is good for both fighters. Poirier is likely past his prime and that headkick KO isn't going to help things. He needs a step back in competition to get his feet back under him and I think this is a winnable fight for him, especially being 5 rounds. For Benoit if he wins he jumps straight to the top of the division. If he loses he's still young, gains experience from fighting a vet like Poirier, and can make another run to the top.
