Interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier faces champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242. Ahead of this major clash, I wanted to look at the takedown defense of Poirier. While no fighter is truly like Nurmagomedov, it is interesting to note since returning to lightweight, Poirier has only been taken down three times: once by Jim Miller, once by Eddie Alvarez and once by Anthony Pettis.
So, what lessons can we infer from this? I tried to take a look at the evidence to see if I could pick up on any trends. What I found is there's one element to Poirier's takedown defense that could play a role against the wrestling of Nurmagomedov.
