Okay, so let’s talk about this Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint Denis fight. Man, what a matchup! I’ve been digging into the stats, trying to figure out how this thing might go down, and let me tell you, it’s a tough one to call.
First off, I spent a good chunk of my afternoon just watching their previous fights. These two are absolute beasts. They just go at it, you know? It’s like watching two trains on a collision course. I was thinking, “These guys are gonna beat the crap out of each other!” That’s the kind of fight this is going to be – a real banger.
Then I started looking at the numbers. I found this one stat that really caught my eye. It said Poirier has landed 1,166 significant strikes in his career. That’s insane! He’s number 7 on the all-time list. I mean, can you believe the guy has landed over a thousand significant strikes? Then I saw he lands an average of 6.13 strikes per minute. That’s a lot of punches and kicks, folks. It’s like he’s a human punching machine.
After that, I dug a little deeper into Saint Denis. I watched some interviews, read some articles, just trying to get a feel for the guy. What I gathered is, he’s a serious threat. He’s got that killer instinct, you know? He’s not afraid to stand and trade, and he throws with bad intentions. The media seemed really excited about this fight too. A lot of folks were saying these are two “extremely violent guys.” The hype was real, I can tell you that.
My Prediction
So, what did I do with all this info? Well, I tried to put the pieces together. Here’s what I came up with:
- Early Rounds: I think Saint Denis might have the edge early on. He’s younger, he’s hungry, and he’s gonna come out swinging. He might be able to catch Poirier with something big.
- Later Rounds: But here’s the thing, if it goes into the later rounds, I think Poirier’s experience and his striking volume will start to take over. He’s been in those deep waters before, and he knows how to grind out a win.
- My Take: If I’m being honest, this is a total coin flip of a fight, but I see that Poirier might have a chance in those later rounds.
I even went down the rabbit hole of looking at “play-by-play” stats, trying to find some hidden advantage. It was a lot of numbers, to be honest, and didn’t tell me much more than I already knew. I made sure that I was looking at reputable sources and that the stats were solid. It was a lot of work, but I think I got a decent handle on what to expect.
Finally, after all that research, I sat back and thought, “Who’s really gonna win this thing?” It’s tough, man. Both these guys are warriors. I think it comes down to who can impose their will and who can handle the damage. I’m leaning towards Poirier’s experience, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Saint Denis pulls off the upset. It’s gonna be a war, that’s for sure.
And that was pretty much my whole day. Researching, watching videos, and thinking about this fight. Hope you guys enjoyed my little breakdown!
