UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier shared his opinion on The MMA Hour about who he considers the best boxer in the promotion.
Did you watch Max’s fight this Saturday?
Yes, awesome fight. Max, of course, is persistent …
– I agree that he is the best boxer in the UFC?
– Not.
Who is the best then?
– We just talked about this with Thiago Alves. I think that the best is Petr Yan. The way he moves… He doesn’t move at all. His positioning is impeccable, he is never out of position, he doesn’t overcharge into power shots, he is very accurate. Works great on the hull, changes floors. He does a lot of great things.
“I thought you would name yourself.
– I’m on the list of the best, but I’m not the one who calls himself the best. But I can box.
Jan defeated Corey Sandhagen via unanimous decision at UFC 267 on October 30. Poirier will face Charles Oliveira on December 11 at UFC 269.
