As Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira’s bout at UFC 269 comes closer, there is immense excitement among fans. Poirier’s fans expect him to emerge as the new lightweight champion. However, defeating Oliveira won’t be that easy.
Back in 2019, Poirier, who fought against Khabib Nurmagomedov to defend his interim title, lost the bout. ‘The Diamond’ and his team do not want history to repeat itself. Hence, his coach Mike Brown has cautioned Poirier of potential danger areas that Oliveira could use.
In a conversation with MMA Junkie, Brown spoke about Poirier and said, “He’s been at this level before. I think his resume is the best in the weight class with Khabib retired. I think he’s the best guy and I think he’s proven it time and time again. It’s a crazy game, but I believe he’s the better fighter and I think he’s going to win.”
