This is such a scary fight for Dustin. The dude has balls of steel, and I love him for it.
Poirier is one of my favorite fighter But im french And benoit is my favorite It's gonna be a war And they love that
Could be. This fight could also change BSD let's be honest. If Dustin finds his groove it's gonna be rough night considering it's 5 rounds
@@BP-gm2ww yes and Dustin is a tank. We have seen him in some wars.
fax.
No, I don't think so actually. I really like Benoit but I think there's too much hype built around him right now. His skills won't be on Dustin's level and he doesn't have the experience. He's merely 6 years in combat sports all combined. I'll be happy to eat my words though since I like both fighters a lot. Just trying to be realistic. And there is a really good chance that Dustin just sleeps him.
Wouldnt be a fight week without a Dan Hardy breakdown
S/o to Dan Hardy best mma analyst second to none
Most Definitely
Guru, then Dan.
It's because he actually takes his time to breakdown a single big fight instead of fitting in a bunch of predictions into 1 video from start to finish
No one thinks that besides trolls @@SatoshiShintoMe
@@SatoshiShintoMewho?
Dan's analysis is so in depth that he could be spot on or completely wrong. I could only imagine how much he overanalyzed his fights while in them.
Love watching Dustin's in the pocket flurries, they never get old.
You got another one last night, too!!
St Denis said he STARTED MMA around the time Dustin fought Khabib. Crazy
professionaly he started around that time, but he was training a few years before that. Still crazy though.
its crazy considering guys like Gaethje and Khabib been training since 4 years old
@@fuckbored4724he started MMA professional fight a few months (3 or 4) after starting MMA training. He practiced JJB since 2 years before starting MMA.
After just 4 years of training he's in the UFC. 2 years later he's fighting Poirier in the main card in the toughest division. Crazy talent
@@Ar1AnX1xyes & if he fights Islam, that’s what might separate Islam from him, that experience. Although I still believe benoit would bring it.
best mma show on the platform. proper uk legend dan! much respect
Guru is.
Dan and guys from Weighing in
far from it mate... this young MMA Guru is something else.
I have to say, this channel has the most technical breakdowns on KZhead. Mentions all the little details.
Well, pretty much predicted how the fight panned out. (Great Breakdown)
You are the best at these technical descriptions of fighters. Thank you.
DP is gonna box his head off starting at the end of the 2nd.
You are a mystic.
I always look forward to the War Room breakdowns. Dan is the man!
bro you predict these fights so well so often its insane
Once again, excellent breakdown. I could see BSD shooting and Dustin catching him in a guillotine.
Hey Dan you're the man! Thanks for the thoughtful content as always 🙏
Dustin will always be the undisputed violenceweight champion. *Never* a dull fight
You're the man Dan!!! Thanks for the great content as always my friend! Wish you were still on the commentator's booth. Miss your commentating man. I enjoy when you're doing it for other promotions still at least. Can't wait for the fights coming up this weekend. Cheers from Pennsylvania Steve
The only thing better than Dan's analysis, is he's choice in music!
I know right sporting that Clutch shirt
I was lookging forward to hearing you analyse this fight!
Thanks for the detailed and professional breakdown 👏
I enjoy Dan's breakdown as much as I enjoy the fights.
Me too
Been waiting for this one big dawg
Love the insight on how you read fights Dan -- really interesting.
Dustin to wait out the storm and get a late finish 🫰🏼💎
Same. BSD gets into boxing scraps too often and I think DP beats him there.
@@jdamsel8212BSD knows knows against who he can go on a saloon fight. For example, against Bonfim, dangerous boxer, he didn't take any hurts. Middle kicks, wrestling and BJJ did the job.
@@guillaume5156 He had a saloon fight with Frevola who has one shot KO power though. Also his middle kick isn't going to be there against another Southpaw.
@@jdamsel8212 sorry bro, you need to watch this fight again, Frevola didn't land a single significant blow on him. Also watch the end of the 1st round against Thiago Moises and you will see a real saloon fight, but Thiago Moises isn't a puncher.
@@jdamsel8212you have to watch this fight again, Frevola didn't land a single significant blow on him. Also watch the end of the 1st round against Thiago Moises and you will see a real saloon fight. But to be honest, when i hear BSD in press conférence, I'm afraid that he will go to the war, standing, before to go on the ground. Because DP is a legend, BSD will want to make an impression and to do the beating that he promised.
I'm tired of so many great fighters being at the end of their careers cause they've all gone last 35 or 36 years old, makes me so sad.
Man I love watching Poirier fight, this will be awesome
Should be the main event fight headliner. I hope Dustin works quick and brings back his magic. BSD is obviously a beast! Let's go DP!
Will there ever be dan hardy striking intructionals for purchase/download? I would be ecstatic
Friendly reminder that the GOAT GSP lost that fight to Dan Hardy's iron will. I remember it well because I was cheering for G, and yet, I knew like we all knew and it made me a fan of Dan.
If BSD wants to stand and fight he loses. If BSD makes up his mind to grapple and ground and pound he wins. The thing about the UFC fighters is you can't make money betting them assuming that guys who have a clear path on the ground will do it if they can also think they can stand and bang. There's that monetary incentive to throw hands (the most clear example is Gaethje but you also see it in guys like Gilbert Burns) that most guys will not override. You can't trust it until a guy has shown he will commit to it.
Logic would dictate that he goes to the ground quickly, especially when you know that the ground is his best asset. What worries me is that he promised a war in his call-out and with Ariel Helwani, against DP, it could indeed be dangerous.
@@guillaume5156 I bet professionally for 2 years prior to covid and online for many years prior. I did well but I learned the hard way you can't depend on guys doing what you think they should do unless they are guys who always do that one thing, and if the thing you think they should do is already baked into the line just stay away. I'm might put a bit on DP ko/TKO in rds 3 &4 if that's what DSB promised in Helwani.
@@guillaume5156 good info I hate that guy can't watch. I'll put a little on DP in 3rd and 4th by ko/tko - my book doesn't have it up yet but I bet its 12-15 to 1 in those rounds and probably correctly priced for a straight up banger might be as low as 1/5
4:00 cross guard is incredibly useful in situations like catching kicks in smaller gloves which is why is not used in boxing. Less say big George’s second career. But Archie Moore used it well. You seemed confused why Dustin doesn’t get leg kicks… there ya go. They get caught bc his guard. He has to cross guard bc he’s so square and takes legs kicks otherwise. It proves the worthiness of the cross guard for him objectively. Besides, the Philly shell is just a variant of cross guard. Boxing loves cross guard evolution.
I can listen to Dan talking about MMA all day. Best analyst in the game
Dan's breakdowns age like a fine wine.
Best breakdowns in the business
This will be a war and I have Dustin every time in a war.
Dustin is a legend. To even take this freaking fight makes his legend grow. Scared for him to be honest. If DP keeps the middle I like him to win. If he gets his back against the cage he’s toast. Has Benoit ever faced a southpaw would be my question. If not it’s different fighting a skilled Left like DP. The body kick won’t be there for him. DP needs to kick that calf 5 times and he’s gold
Never thought I’d hear a reference to masters football in an MMA show. Bring it back I say, I remember going to watch the midlands masters in Birmingham when I was younger, banging goals every time!
I respect your analysis, but I respect your Clutch shirt even more 🤘
DAN THE MAN HARDY!!!! I got Dustin Poirier by 4th round TKO! I think he’ll get tested hard early in the first round and second. Then I think he’s going to come on strong in the third. His leg kicks, boxing, body kicks will cripple Benoit after he dumps his energy into an early finish. That’s my opinion tho
I’m going with the 3rd I can see this looking similar to his fight with Chandler, just eventually his accuracy on his counters will stop BDS
The best. Who needs any other breakdowns?
thanks for a shorter breakdown!!
You’re a legend, Dan
translation - Benoit will smash Poirer easily and the only way DP can win is if Benoit is ill and gets super tired from sickness and somehow faints in octagon
Great analysis. Thank you. Dustin is a legend and as a french fan of BSD, i really love Dustin as a fighter and human being. I would suggest 5 points to take into account to know more about BSD : First, YES the only BSD loss was against Dos Santos. It was in middle weight where BSD was 8 kg below Dos Santos because this is not his natural weight. It was a short notice fight to enter the UFC outside of his weight division to get the contract signed. More over, Dos Santos has been tested positive 3 months after that fight. In every normal country, this fight would have been reclassified in a no contest but as the fight was in Abu Dhabi the rule is not applied by this country. So no loss of BSD in the light weight division and all wins by Ko or submission. Second point, Special forces he was and special forces come. One point to had in this 5 round matchup against Poirier. A five rounds fight should not be a problem for BSD , as you need to be a cardio machine to get into special forces. As a former parachutist, i saw the commando tests in Pau. In one of the first steps of the selections, you need to run 30km in less than 4 hours with a backpack (11kg), army boots (1 kg each), your shotgun (around 5kg), water...Very tough and selective test. Most of the guy did not finish eaten by Lactic acid and exhausted. So i am confident on his cardio. This is also the reason why when you look at his fights he puts pressure the entire fight and finished all lightweight fights. He is confident about his cardio, knows it very well because he has already push it to the limits in special forces. Third, i don't think that there is such a gap between top 5 to 12 fighters and historical top 5 fighters in the lightweight division, the reason is simple, top 5 are AMINLY fighting between each other within money fights since years. So the chance of top5 to top12 fighters to enter the game has been very rare. So we don't know right now if the gap is that big and it could be the opposite. Top 5 are now older fighters and the new generation may come to renew the lightweight division. This is something that Dana White has probably identified as a weakness in the division and he must now renew the blood with a new squad in the lightweight division. Fourth, BSD at 70 kg enters the cage at 82kg the day of the match-up. So he is big and powerfull for the division. Last and not the least : Daniel Voirin, BSD's headcoach, has been in the game for a long time (Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Tarek Safiedine,...) and he is a muay thai coach specialist. BSD will start the fight with a special Daniel's fight plan. Very excited to see how BSD will deliver this strategy approach into the first mn of the fight. Daniel's game plans are always very pertinent and accurate. Please see BSD vs Bonfim fight (Game plan : kill his arm with 10 middle kicks), against Frevola (you see in videos before the fight) that the head kick out of grappling has been worked a lot... So let's see what Daniel will propose this time...
Great insight!! All very good points but myself I am rooting for Poirier. Poirier creates a pace that causes everyone to fade regardless of their conditioning because he makes it ugly and the grit ends up being too much, Hooker, Chandler. But if anyone can handle that level of grit like Poirier it is definitely BSD. This is a great test for him
I agree. Great challenge for both guys, each one with his own style.
But...has he ever had to spend 25 minutes in a cage with someone with anywhere even close to Dustin's boxing skills? Such an interesting fight. I think Dustin's boxing takes over late round 2 if BDP doesn't wear him alllll the way down by then.
Not afraid about his cardio. When you are in special forces you know your body perfectly and if you need to slow down. Special forces in France are mainly linked to mental toughness and cardio machine. We call them « skinny cat ». They are not big in terms of muscle but can absorb long range of exhausting efforts such as running 30km in less than 4 ours with around 18kg on their shoulder. This example is the commando test of the second day of selection. I think that the weakness of BSD is that he can get to aggressive on his feet and forgetting to bring Dustin on the ground, looking for brawling…then with Dustin it’s not gone make it. The risk for Justin is his lead leg, In the game plan I am pretty sure that BSD will try to break it (the game plane) and then move the fight to the ground. But what an intriguing matchup. Love to see that.
That’s a great Clutch shirt Dan Hardy!
Babe! Babe! Dan's WarRoom is on!! ( Babe: "Your a dork" )
😂❤
You’re *
@@MiamiHeatHypehow would you know what his babe said?
Didn’t use the proper you’re . It’s not your it’s you’re . Short for you are a dork . Not “your” a dork
@tinandgonic3927 *_Your_* = a possession/action etc. *_You're_* = you are. You tell us what makes sense.
Thanks Dan!
Dan with the Clutch shirt. Yeah he knows who’s driving…
I guarantee all coaches involved are watching this, Dan is the man, best in the game!
Thor-the-mountain vs Ngannou-the-predator for the PFL 265+ belt. Co-main event: Renan Fereira vs Vadim Nemkov for the PFL 265 belt.
Clutch - nice
Grandmaster Hardy, you are still the best at this, sir.
No French frog is gonna beat an old alley cat like DP
Tbf Poirier is Cajun
why call him a frog 😂😂😂?savage
@nycmaverick a frog can move, a burger not...
This is an exciting fight
Love what you're doing but I really wanted to see the Outlaw in the octagon again.. I'm a fellow mohawker
Love the shirt
Clutch 🤘
A huge stat that people tend to glance over is age. As we are seeing now, the age of 35 is the age of decline. I truly hope Dustin can win but he got knocked out in his last fight and that was the first time he's been knocked out. It just happened to Volk at the ripe age of 35 when he also previously got knocked out by Islam when he was 34. Dustin was also 34 when getting knocked out by Justin and the chances of him getting knocked out again are pretty high. I hope he pulls this one out but the age thing is a true indicator of decline especially when fighting against really good young fighters.
Michael Johnson knocked Dustin out too.
@@KRATOS825 even worse for Dustin. Haha
Whenever it’s pretty vs gritty I have to go with gritty. Would love for dustin to prove me wrong this time and pull it off but just feels like the old changing of the guard scenario. Such is the nature of the sport. Good luck to both fighters. Ps I’m still waiting for a “what if” series/video (obviously it’s not the most relevant topic but lots of fans like to discuss the what ifs so it’s semi relevant especially on those slow news days!) All the best Dan.
Dan. Full Reptile Collective crue. Can someone tell me where to get them tinted shades. So cool. So mint. Sell them on your store you should.
The best breakdowns in the business.
I feel Olivera took it hard to DP’s body and that set him up for victory. If Benoit can drive some hard shots to the body early on it make help set him up for success. I’m a fan of both… this is gonna be a battle of will
Perfect fight for DP. Versus inexperienced at elite level, but dangerous hyped fighter, who comes forward and strikes with his chin up.
Agreed Benoit gets hit, Dustin boxes extremely well
Yup if you get countered consistently against Moises then DP is gonna have fun
I refreshed YT & this was the first thing I saw 🔥👍
Me too
Dan I know you’ve probably already done hours on Dustin Poirier but these WarRooms are getting shorter 😢. I miss you’re Dan Hardy Breakdowns with replays and annotations 🤩
Pretty sure the UFC approved the usage of the video clips/ fight footage because Hardy worked for them. Since he no longer works for the UFC it would go against copywrite laws.
Love it hatdy !!!! ....period !!😊
Dustin boxing is so damn crispy. BSD is a fucking animal, but if anyone can tame the beast it is Dustin's boxing
thanks
I think, Dustin will dominate Benoit, and finish him too!
MVP vs Holand, breakdown that please!
Dan hardy the god of breakdows
DP fights are a treasure. I think St. Denis has the means to do him though. Gonna be a great fight.
I'd love to see more fighters crowd the punches and use elbows, tai clinch, etc instead of backing out square with their chins out
Every good podcast has a Jamie
DP💎
I think Saint-Denis 1 loss was 29-26 decision even after the judge took a point away from his opponent for low blow.
exactly the entire time joe rogan was and the other commentators were saying it should be stopped so many times haha
In short notice, in welterweight division, against one of bigger welterweight which we will learn doped some time later. I will especially remember that despite all that, he went all the way to the decision, what few fighters would have done.
I just brought it up because I thought Dan said it was a split decision@@guillaume5156
But the opponent popped for tons of roids, the only reason it wasn't ruled a no contest is because Abu Dhabi don't care about steroids
Is he not doing these breakdowns on bt anymore.?
I think Dustin needs the fight. I'm tired of him doing the same people and never jumping around rank. Look at what Sean Strickland did and how much respect he got from fighting lower ranked fighters.
This could be an early stoppage for BSD or it could look like the Porior Hooker fight.
I’m with you on the wish list of seeing prime Nate vs prime Poirier, the deep water fighters are an interesting bunch
Came back to say u were right again
Dustin is going to dismantle BSD as the rounds go on but I could be totally wrong, of course.
Im so nervous. Dustin is my all time favorite fighter. I hate when he fights, I almost cant even enjoy it because im so nervous
real analysis right there not some fake chael sonnen cope
Next pfl breakdown?
How many more fights would porrier would have won if he just left his shorts alone 🤔🤔
Even though Guru, has completely taken over this space, as the top analyst, I still appreciate Dan’s efforts.
What was Dustin’s Management thinking?
A new pair of slippers.. imagine the smirk on Veronica's face if she'd had been on the other side of the table
Oddball!
I wonder if Dustin ever thought he'd be compared to a pair of old slippers 😂
Dan I was waiting for this one!! I got BDS winning a scrappy war
Dustin got this. He’s a dog that I won’t ever bet against.
Dustin Poirier just accepting this fight makes him a winner. I want Dustin to win but I don't know!
And that KO makes him a legend
Poirier was like I'm only taking star fights. Next fight: no12 ranked killer...
💎
Poirier has much more to lose in taking this fight than BSD
some of my favs: BSD GSP MVP RDA JDS JDM DDP OSP
Don't forget GFY
BSD in a UD
As long as its a good fight I'm cool with either guy winning lol.
Bsd is gonna get his other eye knocked loose
