Been a fan of Dustin for a while. Nothing against Green, but i hope "the Diamond" shines.

 

[Psychotropic Wanderlust]

Green's style is frustrating to watch. I hope Dustin beats the brakes off him.

 

[PeteyParker]

sick match up, we'll see where they both are in LW division. Green is pretty underrated, should be a competitive fight.

 

[teamquestnorth]

Cant root for Poierer with that little tiny head.

War Green!!

 

[Pitbull9]

Poirer will get the finish i have a feeling.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Green will deliver grade 10 intention level beating if he lets the hands fly

 

[Venum Shill]

Not a fan of Green
Started with his fight with Krause and continued from the Barboza fight

Hope Dustin gets the win

 

[Joemacka]

Good matchup

 

[Ministry of Silly Walks]

dustin should win.

I hear ya, it's like a combination of Anderson and jake ellenberger IMO

King Green is gonna smash that ass! I think his wrestling is better and should look to use that in order to beat Dustin. I think bobby is the better striker but if Dustin attacks with kicks it could be a long night. Either way I think Green is the superior martial artist and is more technical and has fought and defeated better competition; I just hope he mixes it up this time unlike his bout with Barboza.

 

[Wild]

Agree with some that Green can be frustrating to watch. For me, it boils down to believing he could be a legit contender w/ this super exciting style, but for some reason he doesn't go for it. It's weird.

Is Green still training with the Diaz's? I remember i was pretty stoked about the news awhile back although his performance wasn't that great for that camp.

 

[GSPTrainingInAPool]

I will decide this one based on the press conference. I want to hear green talk about his camp

 

[TheFifthScallop]

Let's say Dustin wins this, Where does that put him in the lightweight division? I'd say give him Dariush or Michael Johnson.

 

[Robbie Hart]

If Greene lets his hands go he can be a problem for most everyone. It's so frustrating, like the Anderson Bisping fight........you know it's there but can't pull the trigger.....just realising all of this is coming from me, a non-striker wrestle dude

 

[SAJ]

I got Dustin by dec.

 

[GSPTrainingInAPool]

Let's say Dustin wins this, Where does that put him in the lightweight division? I'd say give him Dariush or Michael Johnson.

1 loss in 7 and it was to Conor. He's on a roll right now!! if he can win this one give him Johnson for #1 contender

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Very interesting matchup. I dont know who I will take yet. Leaning towards and hoping for Dustin, but he has shown that he can let emotions play a big role and Green can certainly piss a guy off.
