That just shows you what a cracker Dustin Poirier is. The fact that Max Holloway, who beats the shit out of Calvin Kader and says I'm the best boxer in the UFC. And Dustin's like, hold on son. He says, hold my hot sauce. Do you not remember what the fuck just went down in a few months ago? Dude, just hold on dude. Dustin Poirier is a bad motherfucker. He's a bad motherfucker. He really is. He takes him out to fight because me and Theo, you know Theo's a big Dustin Poirier fan because we're both from Louisiana. Oh yeah. And obviously I'm a Connor Dick writer. And so, and I love Dustin. I'm way closer with Dustin. But just, you know, just for the show, it's fun to bet. And so I bet Theo a thousand dollars cash. Whoa. So as soon as Dustin, I don't know why he thought this. As soon as he got backstage, he must have got to his phone. Text me, pay Theo his money. Like, yeah, congrats dude. That must have been on his head right after he stopped Connor. I was like, you know it's all love. You know it's all love, man. Can't wait to tweet. You can't say that with a fighter. You bet against a fighter. You can't say it. Yeah, he knows his dad though. Yeah, they get mad. They get personal. They do. Well, they're very emotionally invested. That's how they should be. Yeah. What do you do with Dustin next? Well, there's two options. Have you talked about this? No, I have not. But there's the purest option. Which? The purest option is Charles Olivera. If you're a purest, you want that fight. And I think I want that fight. That should be the right thing to do. If you want to make a shitload of money before Connor fights someone else, you have the rematch. Because- Oh, no, you can't do that. Well, here's the thing. If Connor fights Michael Chandler next, which is a possibility, if Dustin fights Charles Olivera, and then Connor fights Michael Chandler, what are the odds that Connor beats Michael Chandler? I think Michael Chandler is a favorite in that fight. 100%. Yeah, which is very dangerous for your money. If you want to make a lot of money, what you do is you allow Connor to have some time off. You figure out a way to market this in a way that you explain a way that Connor could figure out a way to beat Dustin. Good luck. Good luck. He did beat him in the first fight and did rock him in the second fight. And Connor actually, or excuse me, Dustin actually admitted there was one point in the first round where he was hurt. And he was like, if Connor followed up, it might have been in trouble. But that might be Dustin also saying like, I would like that rematch. Yeah, he knows what's up. And he also might want that rematch. I think you got to look at it. I think you got to look at it. And this pains me to say this. I think you got to take Connor out of the equation. He's out. Let me throw one more variable. Go ahead. The COVID restrictions get lifted. Dublin, Ireland, soccer stadium. No, hear me out here, dude. And it pains me to say this. I love where your head's at. You got to take Connor out of the equation of the race for the title because you got. Yes. What you're going to have is Charles Olavera, Dustin Poire, Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje. Yes. And then Connor, they're over here. They're out of the tournament. You're going to have Connor versus Nate Diaz trilogy in Dublin. Go ahead and do that. But they're not in the race. Well, Connor versus Nate Diaz is an excellent option. It's an excellent option because that doesn't offend anyone like myself. It's time off. Yeah. Give him some time off. It doesn't offend anyone. And Nate is not the kind of kicker that Dustin is. He's much more of a boxer. It falls into Connor's wheelhouse more. And Nate is also insanely durable. And Nate also has a finish over Connor. Connor does not have a finish over Nate. And at 55 is where this thing should be settled. Yes. All of that in Dublin. But they're out of the conversation of title. Title is Charles Olavera, Justin Gaethje, Michael Chandler. Yes. A lot of people are very offended that Michael Chandler gets an immediate jump right into almost title contention with one knockout over Dan Houghton. But then you don't know the history of Michael Chandler. That's true. But then- You're talking about a former multi-time world champion Bellator fighting the who's who over there. Had a finish over Ben Henderson. But Patricio Pitbull knocked him out how long ago? Yeah. And who's a smaller guy, but he also has a win over him too. He does. Well, no, he has a win over his brother. No, that's right. Patricio Pitbull. Yeah, that's right. He KO'd his brother and then Patricio got revenge. But he's a two division champion in Bellator.
