Undefeated lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov is the rightful favorite heading into his title unification bout against Dustin Poirier, but former lightweight title challenger turned welterweight hopeful Kevin Lee believes ‘The Diamond’ may have the tools to pull off the upset on Sept. 7.
Speaking to renowned podcast host Joe Rogan on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, ‘The Motown Phenom’ said Poirier’s footwork could be key in stopping Nurmagomedov’s takedowns and, if successful, it could prove to be a ‘long night’ for ‘The Eagle’.
“The way Dustin’s footwork was looking, that is what makes you think about it,” Lee said, per BJPenn.
