Dustin Poirier acknowledged as the best lightweight in the world by his coach
Citing a series of stats, Mike Brown opened up about what makes Dustin Poirier stand out from his contemporaries in the UFC's lightweight division, including champion Charles Oliveira. Here's what Mike Brown had to say about Dustin Poirier while in conversation with MMA Fighting:
"I think Dustin is the best lightweight in the world, without a doubt. One of my favorite stats that they threw out recently was the third quickest to 20 wins behind Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre. That’s pretty damn good company, and that shows what caliber of a fighter he truly is. He’s one of the greatest to ever do the sport."
