Joe Rogan | Dustin Poirier vs. Khabib w/Yves Edwards

He's so thick. Yeah. Yeah, he's broad man. I remember when Dustin was making 145 Mm-hmm crazy. He looks like he's having a hard time making 55 now But look man the difference between him at 45 and 55 was pretty significant. So with Dustin like I'm kind of biased because he's one of the best friends right? But um, you see how max max dominated a lot of guys at 45. Um, and then The all that, you know, you talk about max is like now he now he's the greatest now He's the greatest at 145. He may he may be the goat He may be greater than Joe say although like that's an argument people can make me beat him twice Right, although he beat him later in his career, right? Josie's not 50 years old. He was in his early 30s Yeah, and he was still he was still the number one guy. He was still dominating everybody else Yeah, I know I'm beating everybody else. Yeah, Connor But like The way max beat those guys beat Ortega beat Josie twice And then Dustin's having these tough fights. He's fighting these same guys. He's fighting gauge. He's fighting Eddie. He's winning them he's convincingly winning them, but um When he fights max like max The the fight is Dustin's fight is the same fight that he had with gauges the same as far as competitiveness, right? Max was still in there, but Dustin wins these but like I just like this is where my bias kicks in I'm like give that man some credit man. Like I mean, I know everybody loves dust I mean not everybody but people love Dustin. They appreciate the way he fights. They appreciate his style But I'm like man, he's he's taken out like champions taking out champions Gacy was a champion was in World Series, but he was a champion. Yeah took out Eddie champion. Yeah, you know max champion He's like all these guys he's beaten Sergio ped. I mean Andre Anthony Pettis champion, you know It's just champion after champion. He also rises to the occasion He fought better against max and any other fight he ever fought in his career. That's the thing about him though. Like he just He's like he's like the cream, you know, he's he's he rises that that's that's that's why that's why his nickname is a diamond You know, what do you think happens when he fights could be? Yeah, this is the one that's the fight like suffice like That's I mean Khabib is the guy could be was definitely the guy and I was talking to him about it I so I'm I started a new podcast. I am I guess up fan sup fam Sup fam with Eve Edwards. Yeah, I know I just just released it today. It's on my YouTube. I just started today Yeah, well just released the first episode. Oh, all right, and Dustin's my first guess. Oh So I was out there with him last week we just hanging out we talked about some of that but like what do I think happens? This is a tough fight. This is like it's the toughest fight. Everybody's going to get right? I Absolutely understand and agree that Khabib should be going in as the favorite, right? I want of course, I want Dustin to win this fight the every round starts on the feet Dustin's got to make Smart moves every single time because when Khabib takes him down. It's it's Almost virtually impossible to get back to your feet. All right, and that's where Khabib is going to want this fight to happen Dustin's gonna have his opportunities But like is he going to be able to stop that wrestling consistently enough to make this fight happen where it's best for him And that's the hardest thing. He's got a good training camp. He's got a really good people there with him He's got Mike Brown there. You know who I want to get with him. Gregor Gillespie. I want Gregor Gillespie to Get with Dustin and just get on top of him for the next two months. Just feel that high-level wrestling Yeah, smashing pressure just that pressure pressure pressure and get comfortable working out of it working under there protecting yourself doing that Would he be interested in I mean he might fight him down the road though. It's possible. Yeah, right. Um But like Tyron and Robbie trained together a long time ago. That's true. Yeah I mean, that's how you get better. Yeah, like it's it's it's one of those things where it's like You got it sometimes you got to trade with a potential rival or you know, not an enemy but uh, but like Iron sharpens iron. Yeah, oh and sometimes you get it you have to go with somebody that's a possible matchup in the future it's especially if you're going to fight a guy who has that same style and I think you nailed it too because Gregor Gillespie is probably When you get past could be the scariest wrestler in the division Yeah, I mean, he's a guy that gets on top of people and just smashes him and he's relentless with his with his wrestling Also, he's a guy who's not gonna get tired He's gonna put that pressure on he's gonna come forward and once he gets a hold of you if you don't use Perfect technique to escape and get that distance back. He's just gonna chain wrestle and chain wrestle There's there's no there's no stopping until you're down until he scores is to there. There's the takedown is still happening Yeah, he's got some fucking relentless strength and conditioning sessions to that He puts on his Instagram you watch and you go. Oh, this is why this guy doesn't get tired Fuck that guy doesn't get tired because he's he's obsessed Yeah, I come he he runs he runs like five minute miles. Does he really like he'll run like six of them straight like he like he will run Like you'll run eight miles and he'll keep them all under six minutes. So he'll run six miles and a half an hour Yeah, he can do that Fuck that crazy. Well, that's crazy. That's like a high-level marathon. Yes, right. Yeah like people don't people don't know some of the things about about these guys like like There was a point where training with these guys. I was just like, all right, man. I'm too old to be doing that Like I can't I just can't keep up with that. You know what I mean? You
