“Dustin brings with him experience, the number of times he found himself at war inside the octagon. This will add additional weight to the Charles of the Bronx”, said Conan, who made a point of recording his admiration for the champion. "I like him very much. He's a very good boy. I’ve always been a fan”, guaranteed Silveira.
Even though he is an enthusiast of Do Bronx's work, Silveira still sees Poirier as a superior athlete. In addition to the experience highlighted by the coach, the former interim champion's technique can, according to Conan, make the North American stand out.
“Dustin has the necessary tools, a sharper, more technical hand. Charles has it too, but I believe that when you come from these wars, which mature you, I believe that this will bring (advantage). Dustin reinvented himself,” said Silveira.
Lightweight champion since May 2021, Charles will attempt his first title defense in December. The favorite of Brazilian fans, the athlete is enjoying a great moment, with nine consecutive victories.
Poirier is also in a special phase. The North American has won three consecutive victories and his last stumble was when he was finished by Khabib Nurmagomedov, in a duel valid for the unification of the group title, in 2019.
