UFC super lightweight Dustin Poirier shared his thoughts about the title fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"The fight between Khabib and Tony is a clash of styles. I think Khabib will exert pressure and look stronger in the fight. I mean, if Kevin Lee managed to transfer Ferguson on the floor, then Khabib will do it without any problem. Then we'll see. We will see Ferguson again in the guard, see how he throws his elbows and tries to hold the submissives. This is certainly an interesting fight, but the most dangerous thing is how long it will last in the stance.

"Tony is really unpredictable, strangely moving and changing timing. Khabib is not such a spectacular drummer, but he never had problems when it came to the wrestling. He is doing a lot of damage to his opponent, being in the dominant position. This is a very intriguing confrontation, but I see Khabib the winner," Poirier said.
