Top UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje has criticised Dustin Poirier’s performance in his recent title fight against the division’s champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Poirier challenged Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC 242 last month in Abu Dhabi. “The Diamond” suffered his first defeat in three years to Khabib as the Russian successfully defended his title in dominant fashion, winning by third-round submission. Talking recently to ESPN about the fight, Gaethje wasn’t impressed with Poirier at all.
“I think Dustin Poirier sh-t the bed. He went out there and sh-t the bed and got his ass whooped,” Gaethje said.
