As a French and BSD fan, I admit that Poirier's willing to show he can still take a younger and hungrier fighter is a huge ballsy move. Very few if no veteran would actually do that right now. Not much to gain except honor and money. Props to him hands down.
I acutally want no one them gentlemen to lose but I really believe BSD is way too reckles and open for counters and DP packs a punch that BSD hasn't met yet. DP by KO R2.
Only way to win for Benoit is to knock out Dustin or submit if it goes to decision or later championship rounds Dustin will take over like he always does.he did this in hooker, Chandler,Pettis, Eddie, Justin,max fight too...longer fights went on Dustin become monster
Nobody is as hungry as Benoit, 5 fights, 5 finishes in 10 months, he calls Tsarukyan, Gamrot, Gaethje... no easy path, 0 fear 0 pressure he has already seen the worst outside the cage. Dustin will soon be buried. 🇫🇷
He also called out Fiziev after beating Moises if I'm not mistaken and according to him he took a fight with Nurullo Aliev last year but Aliev turned it down

I honestly think that this is going to be a real test for Poirier. Fighting an ex special forces guy who’s a literal killer in the cage he better be on his toes
Benoit Saint Denis must realize that in fighting, it's not just brute strength and aggression that count. Although he suffered a devastating knockout, it seems he partly contributed to his own defeat. It's important to acknowledge that, especially in high-level events like UFC 299, other factors such as strategy, technique, and mental preparation play a crucial role.
Rooting for Dustin as a long time fan of his (this man finished Gaethje AND McGregor) but i think BSD is the future so i wont be upset or surprised if he wins
Nope BSD gonna destroy Dustin I promise you that it won’t even be close, I’m acc already looking over Dustin and looking forward to BSD vs Islam for the title!!
Come on man..... be realistic. Dustin is on a way different level then that dude. There doing a good job hyping the French guy up, but he really only has a small possibility of winning, at all. But hey respect to both of them. Hope it's a good fight.
Sean Shelby and Hunter Campbell knew what they were cooking when they matched a fight with french roots in Dustin Poirier against the first ever french fighter to crack the LW rankings in Benoît St. Dennis.
The problem with Benoit is that he has not fought anybody remotely close to the skill set of Dustin. Poirier for the win on this one. And this is indeed the correct, and real main event
If Poirier can survive the first 7 minutes I can see him taking over and stopping Benoit. BSD has finished all of his wins and has never went the distance except for his loss and if recent history has shown finishing everyone within the distance looks good on paper up until you head into the later rounds and you’re gassed because you don’t have experience beyond you’re used to. Happened with Mike Mallott against Magny, Abus against Strickland, and Gaziev against Rozenstruik. People don’t seem to realize that Poirier was 12-1 with 10 finishes early in his career similar to where Benoit is now before he stepped up and fought a top dog in Korean Zombie where the experience won it for Zombie. I think Benoit is gonna experience something similar here with Dustin.
That's a solid take... but mostly everyone had volk winning against Topuria, that didn't happen. BSD may end it quick - but who knows, dustin is also 2-2 in his last 4 and coming off a KO loss.
What is it with people like you constantly wanting prospects to get humbled? I love Dustin but he's had his time. It's time for new blood in the lw division

My BIGGEST concern....it seems as though a list of fighters who have been HEAD KICK KO'd have a career that is followed by a rigorous decline in losses afterwards. -Usman -Volkanovski -Ferguson And Poirier just got head kick ko'd by Gaethje. I'm worried for my boy, Dustin. Always been a huge HUGE fan & REALLY wanted to see him hold that belt at least 1 time. Feel like he's rushing it, like he's got something to prove after the Gaethje loss & I think needs to take off more time to reset. I'm pretty sure there are other fighters who have been head kick ko'd & never recovered as well. I'd love for any1 2 add 2 this list. OR.....PLEASE prove me wrong & gimme a list of fighters who have been head kick ko'd & went up in the rankings, wins or even recovered enough to attain the belt. Really REEEALLY would love to hear Anyone's serious feedback on this issue I just happened to randomly correlate.
Dustin to prove he's still or even more relevant than ever, Benoît to prove he's the true challenger for coming years As someone posted already, this is the real main event. Exciting times!
As a Frenchman, I am so proud of BSD. You are looking at a future champion right here. He is greatness personified. France may not be the biggest country but we are the toughest people on planet earth. We are all fighters and alpha badasses in general. 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
BSD is good, no question....but I think Dustins boxing is too good....dude is tough as nails.....BSD will have the chance to prove himself this weekend....sign me up
This is a must win for Poirier and it couldn’t be against a tougher savage than BSD. Expecting one of the most entertaining round 1s I say that cause it’s hard to see this going past round 1 both hit way too hard and both go for the kill every time out.
Maybe because names dont fight. BSD is getting better fight after fight, his progress in MMA jumped so hard since his fight against Bonfim (july 2023). His wrestling & grappling are insane, he's a BIG fighter for the light weight division (180 cm for 83-84 kg during his training camps). 13 victories = 13 finishes. He's a killer and literrally wants the head of his opponent. But we respect Dustin and we know he is so dangerous. This fight is a good test to know if DP is still relevant or if BSD is the new blood of this division. Best fight of 2024 in coming !
Poirier accepting the fight is already a win for the MMA fans.
