Dustin Poirier’s view on Benoit Saint Denis vs Beneil Dariush
“It is a good one to open this card, that is going to be a enjoyable one,” Poirier advised MMA Junkie. “I’m leaning in the direction of Beneil. I feel he will get it achieved.”
“I feel it’s going to be 50/50 (with placing and grappling),” Poirier mentioned. “I do assume Beneil is an even bigger puncher than BSD. Within the grappling I do assume Beneil has the sting there too. I simply don’t see BSD profitable except a knockout or one thing loopy occurs. I don’t see BSD profitable this battle.”
“I’ve seen the identical (from Saint Denis since our battle),” Poirier mentioned. “I just about see the identical man who I fought. He’s had some good performances. I assumed he was going to lose to Mauricio Ruffy. I did. He stunned me on that.”

BSD goes to dam out the noise till we get to battle evening, however there’s no denying that there’s strain on his shoulders to show that he belongs amongst the elite.
