Fighter on Fighter: Breaking down UFC Fight Night 94’s Dustin Poirier

MMAmania.com resident fighter analyst -- and aspiring professional fighter -- Andrew Richardson breaks down the mixed martial arts (MMA) game of UFC Fight Night 94 headliner Dustin Poirier, who looks to enter the title mix this Saturday night (Sept. 17, 2016) inside State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

Lightweight knockout artist, Dustin Poirier, is set to throw down with kickboxing specialist, Michael Johnson, this Saturday (Sept. 17, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 94 on FOX Sports 1 inside State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas.

Since moving up to 155 pounds, Poirier’s performances have been incredible. It appears that everything timed out well, as Poirier’s switch occurred at a time when he was really entering his prime, which combined with fighting at a more natural weight has allowed him to really thrive.
