Dustin Poirier UFC 143 Interview

UFC 143 Preliminary Bouts Broadcast on FX at 8 PM

This saturday night, Dustin Poirier (11-1) looks to solidify himself as a contender in the featherweight division of the UFC, and continue to display his developing (s)kill set in the main event of the UFC on FX broadcast of the UFC 143 preliminary bouts. The native of the northside of lafayette is on a 4 fight win streak and is currently the #5 ranked featherweight by mmaweekly.com.  Poirier was originally set to face Erik Koch but he injured himself, and Ricardo Lamas stepped up to the plate, only to injure himself as well. Max Holloway (4-0) answered the call to battle and brings a high pace unorthadoxed striking style to his UFC debut. Keep your eyes peeled for this one as both fightes like to walk forward, engage with opponents, and use high pressure styles to put opponents in bad positions.









Poirier by submission!!!
