Poirier has really won me over but hookers rise to fame has been absolutely meteoric. Poirier wrecks him on the ground though if it comes to that.

Porier once responded to me affirmatively when i asked him if he was getting surgery to have a second penis added- although he corrected me that it actually would be his third. Forever rooting for him because now he is my penis friend now

I met a lady from Louisiana at a wedding in Chicago over a decade ago, and she couldn't stop talking about this really nice fighter guy she knew back home who was super talented and gonna be a real big deal in MMA someday.

Turns out it was Porier :unsmith:

Yeah he does, but at this stage I am counting out no one that Eugene Bareman has had a hand in training.

Poirier is the coolest, best looking MMA fighter active today and even if he wasn't also one of the toughest and best I'd still love him.

Hooker didn’t want anymore of Felder’s stand up in the championship rounds of their fight. That makes me feel like Poirier might be too much for him, but admittedly I’m lacking in fight knowledge.
Obviously Dan has had time to improve and comes from a great gym, but all he’s done since getting annihilated by Barboza is knock out feinting giraffe James Vick and skate by Paul Felder.

Is Poirier a better style matchup for him on the feet?

During the Covid era with no live gates is a particularly challenging time to make a stand on fighter pay, but I think many fighters remain underpaid. As does "Hands of Stone"...

Pretty non-story, but Aljo tried to tell Floyd Mayweather they could fight if Floyd wanted to keep hitting on his girl. Messenger never got the word back to Floyd:

Almost always the same with these situations: put them in a boxing ring under boxing rules and the boxer wins. Put them in a cage or in a street fight with no rules, the MMA fighter prevails (at least 9 times out of 10).

e: they had originally agreed to a boxing match that the athletic commission would not sanction. Instead they changed it MMA with a gentleman's agreement that they would just box. Sylvia opened with a kick, which is why Mercer gives him that "really?" look before flattening him.

he also cheated in judo and in other fights. i think he loaded his gloves too. but got away with a lot of that stuff because he was famous and good looking. luckily misaki and joe silva stepped in to correct things.
