UFC 168 gick som bekant av stapeln under helgen, där vi bland annat kunde ta del av matchen mellan Dustin Poirier och Diego Brandao. Redan under invägningarna inför mötet så hettade det till ordentligt mellan de båda kämparna, och här kan ni läsa vad Dustin hade att säga om det hela via ”MMAJunkie”:
I was so mad because before we walked on stage at weigh-ins, he told me he was going to stab me in the neck actually. They had to separate us. The guy’s nuts, man. That’s why I was so upset. We were in line, waiting to walk out for weigh-ins. He comes to me, and he says, ‘You stare at me like this again, and I cut your neck. Then what are you going to do?’
I wasn’t mad about him missing weight. That sucks. But him stabbing me in the neck? That’s not cool.
Poirier lyckades slutligen besegra Brandao via KO i slutet av första ronden, och har nu vunnit sina två senaste matcher inne i oktagonen.
