Fighting at your home town in MMA could be a disadvantage.
There are more distractions. More people wanting a slice of your time. More pressure to perform.
Its easier to stay focused fighting as a complete stranger, in a place where no one knows you.

Maybe but then again it could be like football... Like the 12th man kind of thing. Dunno tho. I just think Poirier is a decent bet as a slight underdog and also looking at his history with Holloway. He also never had back to back losses. So yeah... I'll take the plus money for a small bet.
Anyway, here are the weigh in results. No misses.
