“I think Petr Yan is the best fighter in the UFC. The way he moves... He always has a clear choice of position, he does not make unnecessary movements. He's not overly invested in power strikes. He works great to the body, changes floors. There are many things he does very well,” Poirier told The MMA Hour.
Poirier will fight the reigning champion Charles Oliveira on December 11 at UFC 269 in Las Vegas.
