MMA Junkie<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s the goal of mine to get this fight into those deep waters and see who really wants it more, see who is willing to bleed more and leave it all out there because I know I will. No question about it.<\/p>\n\u201cBut going to what Justin (Gaethje) said, Dude, I\u2019ve said this,” Poirier continued. “I\u2019m saying the same sh*t over and over again and it feels corny, but when a fighter goes out there \u2013 where our last fight is the most important \u2013 and he got hurt, came back the second round, and showed championship grit and finished Michael Chandler, a guy who just took Justin to the to hell. So if that says anything, you know, you\u2019re as good as your last fight. He\u2019s a world champion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Entering the fight, Dustin Poirier has seen all the talk that Charles Oliveira is underestimated. Yet, the American has made it clear he is not underestimating the champ as he knows this will be a tough fight for him. He also is taking it seriously as he knows winning the belt is massive for his legacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, man, I don\u2019t like that and I don\u2019t want to get caught up in that mindset,\u201d Poirier said. \u201cA fight is a fight and this guy is very dangerous. He has so many finishes in the UFC, so much experience. And I\u2019m not putting that aside. This is a huge fight for him, for his legacy, for me, and for my legacy. All the experience throughout our whole career has built up to this fight, you know. The guy is very dangerous and very capable. And yeah, that\u2019s all I got to say. I respect his journey to get where he\u2019s at, to be the undisputed champ because I have a similar one.\u201d<\/p>\n
