Charles Oliveira vs Dustin Poirier: Poirier to win by decision

December 6, 2021 Sports

Early in the morning on December 12, UFC 269 will take place in Las Vegas. In the main event of the evening, Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier will fight for the lightweight title.

Oliveira vs Poirier… Five-round fight, tough confrontation, both versatile. They don’t have much of a problem with their functionality either. Five round fights are not that common for them, but they can do them at a good speed and that’s what’s going to happen in this fight.

For me the favorite is Poirier, he’s mentally stronger than Oliveira. And I think he’s just a tougher fighter… Still, the guys are very similar in their skills. They both fight very well, they have very good punching skills, very good form in the standup, so the fight is going to be very interesting.

To be honest, I wouldn’t even like to predict it, it’s too hard to do, but my money is on Poirier and I think that will be the judges’ decision at the end of all the rounds.

I think that it will mainly be a standup fight, a classic MMA fight. It means that there will be punching, fighting, and clinching there. Very competitive fight, very tough guys, but I still give preference to Poirier and his win by decision.
