      ⁠​⁠@@GojimaruWe’re talking about mma striking though.. of course it’s linked to other parts of a fighter’s skill set. That’s how it’s being used, and that’s how it should be judged.
      What’s the point of having a discussion of ‘if it’s boxing only’ or ‘if it’s submission grappling only’? It’s called mixed martial arts, not split martial arts..

    @1acarrillo75 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Excellent commentary!👍In my opinion, the reason why Dustin Poirier is not able to work on mat wrestling/grappling defense against someone like Makhachev is due to Dustin Poirier having major hip mobility issues. Because of Dustin's previous hip injury.
    Also, it is Makhachev's overall physicality and ground control pressure that is a bad matchup for Dustin Poirier. The only way anyone else will be able to beat Makhachev is if they match Makhachev's overall physicality and pressure, have slightly better stand-up skills, and are a more elite mat wrestler than Makhachev. That type of fighter still does not exist in the division. But someone will eventually come along to beat Makhachev. It is only a matter of time.

      @1acarrillo75 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@jm12green31Of course, I have. Arman is one of the only fighters that has ever taken down and controlled Makhachev. But I just don't think Arman has the finishing ability as far as submissions or striking to beat Makhachev. Plus, Makhachev's striking has improved since Arman and him last fought.
      Honestly, I can't stand Makhachev. I have been wanting him to loss for a while now. Unfortunately, I just don't think there is any fighter in that division that can beat Makhachev right now.
      Like I said, "Eventually someone will come along and beat Makhachev." But I just don't think it's going to be Dustin or Arman.

    I see Islam being patient, picking his shots, counter a couple and knock Poirier out in the second or 3rd. He is so confident in his skillset that I think his goal is to show that the Volk headkick was not luck. He is going to come out with the perfect game plan, trait a little, counter and knock Justin out! Bit if it goes to the ground, Islam will choke him with a Guilly, just tp show him how to do it and too make a point about those that always talk him down.

    Love ya Dan, but those sunglasses are a bit ridiculous 😆
    Excellent breakdown. I think we all know what is going to happen, but man I'd probably break down and cry if Diamond manages to pull this one off. If I were him and I won this fight, I'd retire on the spot. It wouldn't be the same as a guy retiring in his prime as soon as he won a title. Dustin has nothing left to prove, and everyone knows that if he fought Islam ten times, Islam will take most of those wins. Some would argue that it wouldn't be fair to Islam to beat him and then run, but I think it's a bit different when an older fighter does it. We get so mad at these guys when they won't retire on a high note, what could possibly be higher than winning the title off a future hall of famer?

    I don't think most high level fighters can really fight against type like Dan is suggeting... Dustins path to victory is that he's the odd southpaw who is really good against other southpaws - specifically with the exact lead hook that KO'ed Makachev before. He also probably can't anti-wrestle against anyone (much less Makachev) as his hips seem shot, so jumping the guillotine is probably his best way to get makachev to expend energy and a good post to walk-walk against the fence. Problem is he'll probably give his back there.
    Dustin has to play his game and maximize his weapons, southpaw v southpaw is usually really awkward, so there's a chance to catch Islam (who prefers neat and controlled striking) there, especially if he can reverse him on the fence.
    That being said, I think Islam will get many more chances to choke Poirier as he's getting up, than Poirier will get chances to land the lead hook on a fence reversal... So Islam by RNC :-)

      That KO against Islam is a fluke and it will never happen.Islam's striking has improved so much.

    Everyone slamming on The Diamond !! I tell ya what... If anyone has that counter punchers chance. It's Fckn Dustin Porier!! Islam better be careful!! Or he'll get SPARKED, just like BSD !!

    Basically, Poirier has a puncher’s chance, but that’s it. With the possible exception of close range boxing, Islam outclasses him everywhere.

  • @chrisshergie1030
    @chrisshergie1030 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    dan you are overthinking this one. dustin is going to try and spark him early, thats his only shot and i think hes well aware of that. if it ends up going to the fundamentals and analytics dustin cant win. the ONLY reason perhaps this fight might go differently than expectations is if he knows he cant win the long game.
    while i wish you would have simply talked about dustins chances of actually sparking islam, i understand the analysis. but lets be real, dustin should be working on 10% takedown defense 90% gameplanning the finishing shot

    Dustin had a hard time getting up and often didn’t against Mike Chandler. Islam is much more dangerous on the ground than Mike. I love Dustin and would lose my mind if he wins but I just don’t see it. I don’t think Dustin will be able to get up against Islam so I hope he is tries like hell to stay standing up.

    I’m only 4:00 into the video……. Let me guess Dustin doesn’t stand a chance!!!!! Than while in the hell did the match-makers even put this non-competitive fight together???? Did they do so just to embarrass him and make him retire???? However every fighter has a punctures chance 😮😮😮😮 especially when one has Dustin’s ever so crisp kind of boxing 🥊 However one never knows that mr Dustin just might come right out and starch Mr Makhachev!!! Just saying!!! Just look at Micheal Bisping 😮😮😮
