Wow! Finally a Khabib Nurmagomedov fight I surely highly anticipated another match from him and with this Lightweight Main Event card against Dustin Poirier, But the way I see this fight Poirier is no push over and having experience with Wresling in the past but he is highly compatible with his boxing but I guess Khabib's good submission move will surely put to test that is why I really think that Khabib will surely win against Poirier, I know I am a bit bias because I really like Nurmagomedov to win this, But that is what I am seeing to be the conclusion on their fight.
@YuginKadoya youre right Poirier does have some decent experience, but I doubt hell pose a challenge to Khabib. I feel Khabib should easily win this match and Im planning to place few bucks on him, as I feel this matchs result is easy to predict.
@pereira4. Khabib's chin has never been tested. We thought Conor was going to test it, however, the strategy he used did not give him this opportunity.
I reckon Poirier's fighting style might give him a chance to test it.

@bbc.reporter that wont happen because Khabib is way superior, but the fans would love to see Poirier get close to his chin so lets wait and see how it goes.
