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. Grin

I never followed european football, only american.

When american football teams travel on the road some hire strippers, groupies and prostitutes to entertain them in their hotel rooms.

Its might be the opposite with team sports. They have less distractions and party less, when they're at home.

I wasn't certain who was winning Holloway vs Poirier. Its a difficult fight to call. Holloway did get super motivated by the lahaina fires in maui.

Holloway fought in the UFC for around 13 years, Poirier I think its around 14 years.

Past the 10 year mark is where a lot of guys start to hit a wall and decline.

Such a tough fight to call a winner.
