This week on Heavy Hands, we talk for a long time. A very long time, and mostly just about one fight. But can you blame us? It's Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Dustin Poirier, and we're kind of excited. Our topics:
- What's wrong with Khabib's striking, and how does he make it work so well?
- The evolution of Dustin Poirier, and the tests he's passed on the way here
- Paul Felder and Edson Barboza take on one of our favorite questions in their rematch: do style matchups ever change?
- Mairbek Taisumov is fighting a maniacal brawler. Take that in.
- How Weili Zhang wrested the title from Jessica Andrade, but more importantly, THE LEEEEECCCCCHHHH
