Poirier (11-1, 3-0 UFC) will enter his preliminary matchup with Max Holloway at UFC 143 as a prohibitive favorite on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, as an overwhelming 96 percent of players in the Sherdog MMA Pick’Em fantasy game foresee the bout concluding with his hand raised. No other fighter on the card carries more than a 90-percent majority.
A Tim Credeur protégé, Poirier (Pictured) will enter the cage on a four-fight winning streak. He last appeared at UFC on Fox 1 in November, when he submitted Pablo Garza with a second-round brabo choke at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Poirier has flashed a dynamic offensive game in his 12 professional bouts, with four wins by submission and five others by knockout or technical knockout. He has finished five opponents in less than 90 seconds.
