BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier:
Alex Morono, UFC welterweight: I have to root for Poirier as an American. We also have fought some common opponents so I’m rooting for Poirier.
Jared Cannonier, UFC middleweight: I’d have to give the advantage to the champ, he has been so dominant with his wrestling that I think he can submit Poirier. But Poirier is a dog and you can’t overlook him, but the fan in me wants to see Poirier win.
Dustin Jacoby, UFC light heavyweight: I hope Poirier but if I was betting it would be Islam.
Drakkar Klose, UFC lightweight: I’d love to see Poirier win, but I think Islam humps his leg and ends up getting a submission in the middle rounds.
Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight: Islam Makhachev. But, I am rooting for Poirier, and hopefully he does it by guillotine if he does.
Chase Hooper, UFC lightweight: I’d love to see Poirier win and become the champ, but I think Islam submits him.
Diego Ferreira, UFC lightweight: I like Poirier but I think Islam will submit him. Islam will do what Khabib did to Poirier and just outwrestle him and eventually get a choke.
Cody Stamann, UFC bantamweight: I really want Dustin Poirier to win and become champ, but I don’t think it’s possible.
John Castaneda, UFC bantamweight: Honestly, I want Poirier but I think Islam will win.
