In his recent interview with ESPN, Khabib Nurmagomedov has given out some important pieces of advice for Poirier.

“You cannot go to the Charles Oliveira red zone,” Khabib explained. “This guy is real finisher, he’s very dangerous. I think if Dustin Poirier take him to the deep ocean like he told us, then I think he’s gonna win. But, if he rush, I think Charles Oliveira gonna have a chance.”

Khabib gave this advice in reference to Poirier’s recent interview in which he said he plans to take Charles into the deep waters.

No question about it.”
