With the backdrop set, let’s talk about how the two men stack up. Khabib will come in as a heavy favorite with his unblemished 27-0 MMA record. Known as a grappling specialist, Khabib has recently shown an improved stand-up game, catching one of the best strikers in the game in his last outing. This is due to his ability to keep his opponents concerned with the takedown, mixing in faux takedowns to striking transitions. This may not be an issue for Poirier however, as he is a more balanced martial artist.
