If they really arent going to make Tony vs Khabib next then it has to be Poirier vs Khabib. He's 100% earned it. Conor is still out of the equation until we get anything more than speculation.#UFCGlendale

Gaethje’s body was trying so hard to completely shut down and it just couldn’t. Firing away until the end. That motherfucker is stubborn in the best way. Incredible. #UFCGlendale

Dustin Poirier one of my all time favorites with a TKO of over-hyped Justin Gaethje.
