I didn’t have a dog in the fight…I wanted the under to hit. However, that’s a crazy stand up imo

On top of a illegal 12-6 elbow, Alvarez also grabbed the fence on the submission attempt. And landed an illegal knee last fight. Come on now. #ufcCalgary

Dustin Poirier is the fucking man
— Chase Sherman (@ChaseShermanUFC) July 29, 2018
Alvarez really has himself to blame. In a dominant position and brings himself undone with yet again another illegal strike. He’s been fighting long enough to know that was a blatant 12-6. Congrats to @DustinPoirier looked awesome out there #UFConFOX30

Pay that man! 💎💎💎 #UFCCalgary

@DustinPoirier def earned that title shot. Money fights are nice for @ufc but to deny someone an opportunity that he earned would be wrong. Does everything the ufc loves and deserves his chance at the belt

I disagree. Rolling to turtle in a combat situation is to protect yourself from further punishment and it’s a strong sign you’re hurt. If you sit there without moving for more then a few secs it should be stopped.
