On paper, Dustin Poirier-Jim Miller seemed like a potential “Fight of the Night” winner when it was announced, and the UFC 208 pay-per-view curtain jerker certainly didn’t disappoint.
Poirier and Miller banked $50,000 apiece for their featured lightweight clash at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday night. While Poirier emerged with a majority decision victory on the strength of powerful punching combinations and takedowns, Miller did his share of damage with brutal leg kicks, making it difficult for “The Diamond” to put weight on his right leg in the final frame.
