What did they say?
Poirier stated, "I really believe I'm going to end this guy."
"I think I can stop him. 25 minutes is too much time to fight with me without getting hit with a shot, and not be in a bad place.
I feel the best I have ever felt. My body is feeling good. I feel focused. "I can't wait!"
"These 25 minute, regardless of how painful or uncomfortable you are, will last me the rest my life.
"And maybe, this is the last time that I make that walk to fight in a championship."
