Masvidal: I still think Poirier is better than Gaethje

Jorge Masvidal

Former UFC welterweight title contender Jorge Masvidal shared his thoughts on the early defeat of his ex-partner in the gym Dustin Poirier in a duel with Justin Gaethje, which took place on ...

Recall that this fight was the second in the confrontation between lightweights. Their first meeting took place in April 2018 and ended with Dustin's victory by technical knockout.

“I know my buddy Poirier, we trained together in American Top Team for a very long time. It was very painful, because I was sure that victory would be ours. After the first round, I believed that everything was going according to plan.

Everything happened the way it happened, such is the world of fighting. I think that Poirier is better than Gaethje, and if they clash again, Poirier can do the same with him. But that's what happens in fights where you fight elite level guys," MMA Fighting quotes Masvidal.
