I had it 48-47 for Max but I understand why someone would think that Dustin won round 4.

Round 1 - Dustin
Round 2 - Dustin
Round 3 - Max
Round 4 - Max (close though)
Round 5 - Max

You are welcome to disagree with me, but you're wrong.

Unfortunately I think Khabib dominates Dustin.

The only one capable of beating Khabib is Conor with two healthy feet.

Even the second round could have went to Max. After the first, Dustin's output slowed and Max's increased a ton. Dustin was able to land some big shots though that obviously won him rounds in the eyes of the judges. The knee that split Max open in the 4th would be a good example.

It was close but I thought he landed a few heavier shots and Controlled the majority of the round . Didn’t all 3 judges give him 5 too? Or did they all give Poirier a 10-8 first?
All 3 judges scored it 4-1



Sheepdog @lordofthepies you can apologize now for calling me a retard for not giving Dustin a 10-8 round 1

I had it 48-47 Poirier. I seriously dont see how Poirier won the 5th, Max was active all round landing shots whilst Poirier had like 1minute of stalling at the end.

The 4th round was close but Poirier did the most damage.

The thing here is... what criteria do you use to score that round? Here we have a volume striker vs a hard hitting striker... for me Poirier was the one landing the more cleaner shots especially since Holloway just stopped trying to block some shots like that true savage he is and Holloway landed more shots. If u also take in consideration that Holloways face looked like it had taken alot more damage.

I feel like we the fans often take into consideration to what fighters press the action and moves forward, im all for different strategies as long as we see some action and if we dont the ref should be more active to make the fighters engage with point reduction threat. But the last 2 fights didnt have a single round were the criteria octagon control got into play, there was too much action happening.

We had examples earlier on this card with the Jouban vs Grant fight. Jouban didnt throw enough didnt cut off Grant and when exchanges happend a more or less one armed Grant actually got the better of those exchanges most of the time. So i would say it was Joubans own fault he lost, he should have tried to change something during the fight and atleast try to throw more, cut off the angles more and kicked to the body more. The fact is when u face an opponent that has good movement and cardio and ur best parts of the game are in striking then u need to use strategies to lure him in and counter, thats smart strategy. Im actully emberassed to use this as an example but look at Khalil tonight.. he used good strategy to pull off a victory against Anders thats so tough he probably would have won on his toughness if Khalil would have fought like he used to do.

So after this little rant i would like to say i scored Holloway vs Poirier... 48-47 to Poirier.

I had it 49-46, but admittedly a couple rounds could have gone either way. In those types of situations I default to Pride scoring. With that in mind I don’t care about the scores, just that it was definitely the right decision.

Had it 48-47 Holloway personally, but probably just because I was rooting for him.

I realize the numbers don't tell the whole story but they tell part of it.

Significant strikes:

1st:
Poirier 54 of 115
Holloway 30 of 72

2nd:
Holloway 32 of 89
Poirier 31 of 74

3rd:
Holloway 53 of 111
Poirier 33 of 68

4th:
Holloway 42 of 89
Poirier 34 of 64

5th:
Poirer 26 of 60
Holloway 24 of 85

Totals:
Holloway 181 of 446
Poirier 178 of 381
No knockdowns

Takedowns:
Poirier 1 of 8
Holloway 0 attempts

Submission attempts:
Holloway 1
Poirier 0


There's not much separating these fighters. An interesting fact to remember is that Dustin already held a submission win over Max so a trilogy loses some interest because Dustin already has two victories. But I think Max is capable of beating him on a good night.

I had Poirier 1,2, Holloway 3,4 and 5 was a toss up, but I felt Poirier controlled a little more of it with lame cage pressure.

At least Dustin didn't get screwed, or did he?

Very unfortunate shot lol

Like my wife has been saying, we never want to see Max lose but we’re also happy he didn’t win and muddy up an already complicated division. At least he made it a good showing even though he was outgunned from the start. Dustin looked huge standing next to Max so if he wants to go up to 155 he needs to take some time and bulk up a bit before he thinks about going back against those killers.
