Erik Koch vs. Dustin Poirier Prediction – Koch is a Roufusport fighter. That means he’s another traditional martial artist with awesome and rather unorthodox
striking skills. What’s more, he’s also a far better ground fighter and wrestler than people give him credit for. Poirier, on the other hand, is also very well-rounded fighter who has nearly as many submission victories as (T)KO’s.
In the end, I think that Poirier will have a good chance if the majority of fighting is on the ground. But considering that Koch was able to keep Jonathan Brookins’ wrestling at bay in his last fight, guess is this will be mostly a standing encounter.
Erik Koch defeats Dustin Poirier by third round TKO.
