American mixed martial artist (MMA) Dustin Poirier said his triumph over record holder Charles Oliveira was “undeniable.” The American shared his expectations from the fight with Oliveira for the UFC lightweight champion belt on December 7 with a REN TV correspondent.
“By the end of the night, I will be the undisputed champion, and I don’t think the fight will last all 5 rounds,” Poirier said.
Oliveira, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, said his chances of winning are very high.
“Two guys who deserve great respect will enter the octagon. It will be closed, and I know that at the end my hand will be raised, ”said the Brazilian.
Before the fight in Las Vegas, Poirier is determined. Armed with a pair of machine guns and a pistol, the athlete practices shooting. The channel’s correspondent learned that this is how the American tries to relax before an important fight.
“We shoot with automatic rifles, with a 9mm glock that I just bought. And this submachine gun empties the magazine in 3 seconds. Go crazy, ”said Poirier.
Recalling the bright moments in the biographies of two titled athletes who will fight on the night of December 11-12, their colleagues often emphasized that the American and Brazilian won victories over the most famous UFC fighters.
So, the knockout in which Oliveira sent Michael Chandler on May 16 discussed fans and admirers around the world. In addition, it was Poirier who defeated Irish Conor McGregor at UFC 264 in July, who was unable to continue the fight after breaking his ankle.
On the same day, mixed martial arts fighter Artem Lobov made a forecast for the fight between Oliveira and Poirier. According to him, there is no clear favorite in the upcoming fight.
However, Lobov believes that the American has a slight advantage in the standing position. In addition, according to Lobov, Poirier has more power, he is more mobile.
The REN TV channel will broadcast the fight between Oliveira and Poirier. Russian TV viewers will be able to watch the match live at 2:00 (Moscow time) on December 12.
