just gotta say I'm super excited after everyone made weight for this... Costa even made "Champ weight" without the 1-pd allowance for the first time! Times, they are a changing.

Am I regretting my kopylov pick now ? IDK. Costa looked like he was tweaking on the pre-fight press conference. I think the cut was pretty intense for him.

DP and Max looked great and this has been emotional for Poirier as evidence in the UFC Embedded video series (which is pretty damn awesome if anyone watches them, cool to see the inner workings of the fight life)

They've been pulling him around all the time, in his hometown, lots of emotional stuff. He has pressure on him but still looks great. Max is trying to get people to play him the villain but everyone loves him too lol

If you don’t love dustin **** you


Card is pretty good. Pre lims have some good fights.

Main card definitely missing a co main. Some fights on there that could be either very boring or very good.

Wish they didn’t price out the peasants. Would have loved to be there :(

I’m gonna be sad for any outcome in the main event. Love them both so much.

Was a great card. Sadly Poirier didn't win and was behind on my cards but he put up a great effort. Classy send off. Dana snubbed Jon Jones for the white house card lol please please please

Thats the way i wanted that fight to go. Poirier and Max leave the octagon on their feet and and without any serious injuries.
