Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan is confident that French lightweight prospect Benoit Saint-Denis will pose a serious test for the former interim champion American Dustin Poirier. The meeting of these fighters will take place on March 9 at the UFC 299 tournament in Miami.
“Poirier vs. Saint-Denis is a big fight. Benoit is a fucking killer, scary dude. He is an excellent striker and just a killer, an assassin, he knows how to destroy people. This guy is good in every aspect.
Saint Denis is truly on another level. You look into his eyes, and real hell is going on there. It is made for this sport. So it's a really exciting battle. Dustin better be ready for him because the guy is going to try to make a name for himself,” Rogan said on his podcast.
