He understands fighting and understands styles and matchup, and I\u2019ve told him that before, that this guy is going to have to switch his fighting style or he\u2019s going to have a short career. He\u2019s going to have a bunch of fun paydays and a bunch of memorable fights, but it\u2019s not going to last. Once it starts going downhill, it\u2019s going to go down fast for him, fighting like that. Of course he\u2019s going to catch guys here and there, win some bonuses, and like I said, have some great fights that people are going to remember. And it seems like that\u2019s what he\u2019s fighting for. He loves that, and that\u2019s awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"8ALQFB\">While Poirier admits he sometimes has a hard time saying no to a good brawl himself, he&#8217;s determined to be the more measured, tactical fighter against Gaethje in Glendale.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GMCnd6\">\u201cI\u2019m not looking to go out there and get damaged and have a bloodbath, but I\u2019m a fighter deep down inside,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So no matter how much I try to tame that beast, when the going gets tough, it comes out. I\u2019m glad I have that because it\u2019s gotten me far.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ddfcbe\">\u201cBut this is going to be the bull versus the matador and I\u2019m going to finesse him out there. I\u2019m going to show my full skill set, my speed, my accuracy, everything I\u2019ve been working on for 11 years. I\u2019m going to show, once again, that I\u2019m going to be the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Dustin Poirier&#8217;s assessment of Justin Gaethje?
