Charles Oliveira vs Dustin Poirier: Storylines and Head-to-Head
It will be the first time that these two rivals have met in the octagon of the UFC. The fight is interesting not only because of the level of both fighters: it will be a clash of two completely different styles. It should be noted that although both are very complete fighters, capable of performing without problems both in striking and grappling, there is a clear preference on the part of both of them to one of these two.
On Oliveira‘s side, in 40 fights he won 31: 3 by decision, 9 by KO and 19 by submission. It is clear, then, that the Brazilian feels much more comfortable in grappling, since by way of submission he achieved 60% of his victories. On Poirier‘s side, he always looked better at striking. In fact, of his 28 victories, half of them (14) were by KO, the others were by submission (7) and by decision (7).
Then the conditions are ripe for a great fight for the lightweight title in the T-Mobile arena in this UFC 269, which will also have a very attractive preliminary card: Raulian Paiva vs. Sean O’Malley; Kai Kara-France vs. Cody Garbrandt; Geoff Neal vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio and co-featured fight Amanda Nunes defending her Bantamweight title against Julianna Peña.
