“I’m not entirely sure why I’m considered the underdog in this fight. Maybe it's because I lost my last fight. Saint-Denis has a streak of five early victories. In general, he won all the victories in his career ahead of schedule. Perhaps this is the reason. I have been an underdog almost my entire life and I perform better in this status. So for me this is the ideal situation,” said the fighter.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Poirier and Saint-Denis will take place on March 10 as part of UFC 299.
