War Poirier! On paper this looks like it should be an entertaining card from top to bottom and really the opposite of what we got last week. Even better, the wife and kids are going to visit family for the weekend so I get to sit there with a 12 pack and watch uninterrupted. So your boy is excited for this. Obviously want my boy Poirier to win, but I am just as interested to see if JJ goes back to vintage form, or if Rose took her will to fight and we get vintage Tito excuse making.
JJ pretty easily cruised to a win. For the most part Tecia just let her move and do what she want. Had one flurry at the end of the 2nd and pretty much did not reallying try to let her hands go at any point.
Hot damn, Aldo just got Stephens with one the hardest body shots I have ever seen. Entertaining round before it ended. Back and forth action from both guys.
Eddie Alvarez fucked himself over this fight. He was fairly well in control of the fight, but kept grabbing the fence and then threw a 12-6 elbow. Fight stood up and Poirier then starched him.

I can at least understand the knee to the head last fight. Poirier was playing the game a bit with his hand it looked to me. This last fight I can't much figure out besides him and Mitrione share a brain.
