Franchement, en revoyant le combat contre Elizeu je vois pas comment Poirier va pouvoir éteindre Benoît. Même en soumission, mettons que Dustin arrive jusqu'à la position dans laquelle BSD serait contraint de taper (et bah bon courage mon copain) vu les déclarations de Benoît il faudra que ce soit l'arbitre qui intervienne pour mettre fin. Bref... comme tout le monde, j'attends de voir par quel (s) moyen(s) il est possible de battre BSD avant la décision.

@@guiguijol Well i'm french and i lived in Montreal for 3 years, i studied linguistic and i can tell you he was not raised in a french household.... Il se trompe de genre souvent et oublie parfois des articles, voire fait des grosses fautes de syntaxe. Un francophone ne parle pas comme ça : 'comme tu sais je comprend Français, j'ai entendu qu'est ce que tu as dit dans l'interview...' Il n'est clairement pas issu d'un foyer francophone. Son français est pas mauvais, mais avec un gros accent étranger et loin du niveau de quelqu'un dont c'est la langue maternelle. From his wikipédia : he grew up in Westmount (100% english speaking area) and graduated in NYC, he's american canadian, with Greek and syrian jews origin. You can expect a bit of french from his dad living in lebanon for a few years, but i was right, he's not from a francophone background. Tu es Français ?
This dude is a killer.... I can see it in his eyes when he talks about a 'violent fight'.

I'm gonna tell you excatly what ''the plan'' is. So if Gaethje is gonna win against Max, he will fight for the belt, if he loses, then the winner of Charles vs Arman will be fighting Makhachev for the strap. After that, if Islam wins, he will go up to fight for the welterweight belt, and which ever of the winners that hasn't faced the champ yet (out of the two previuos mentioned fights) will face Benoit for the Interim belt while Islam is out.

BSD fight winner of Gaethje/Holloway for BFM belt. Islam fight winner of Oliveira/Tsarukian. Then BSD fight whoever wins for the LW belt. That is if BSD win all his fights, which is far from done.
This is the first time feeling Dustin have no chance ... I believe this guy is the one beating the khabib family .
💪
Benoit fighting anyone else besides Dustin I'll love. But Dustin is my guy, it's going to be WAR. I love how real he is. I just wish he fought someone right outside top 5, instead of such a tough competitor regardless of how many war's Dustin has been in. Dariush/Fiziev/Gamrot would be such a better fight for him and I'd absolutely cheer this man on.

Benoit enwais going to destroy Dustin one factor is his ex. Military. He might not have experienced the Dustin has, but Dustin is overlooking him hate. Thanks, just because he's a new cover. He doesn't need a fight Benoit. Don't underestimate your point. Dustin dustin is very picky about who he wants to fight. Then don't fight quit the company. If you're well off, I'm making good money outside of that UFC. Then quit, then you must eventually gave up and don't want to fight that much. You are a newcomer at 1 point Dustin, but benwa is a hunger to fight. You haven't heard him saying they bought big money? Because not everyone's priority is about big money. Which money is important but Dustin and other fighters out there. Focus on that again. Yes, we need to make a living, but some people do it for sport. And not to hurt people.
