Dustin Poirier reacts to Benoit Saint-Denis revealing his staph infection leading up to #UFC299: “I think all of that’s just talk. You say those type of things when you win, you don’t say that when you lose. I’ve gone into so many fights with staph infection, with fractured foot, with lacerated bicep. That’s fighting. Everybody has something going on going into fights but you can’t say that when you lose. You gotta hush it up.” (via. @MMAJunkie) #UFC #MMA
@ChampRDS I mean he’s right… Staph isn’t a good excuse as to why you got knocked out especially considering BSD has a history of keeping his hands low and staying in the pocket for too long ie Moises, Dos Santos etc. That’s like saying altitude was the reason Dustin got KO’d by Gaethje.
@ChampRDS I could understand if Benoit said it once and left it at that but it's everyday I log on here and he's yapping about his staph infection
@ChampRDS I respect them as fighters until the crazy “dog ate my homework” excuses start pouring in after a loss.
@ChampRDS Facts Petr won his fight with a torn acl, meniscus, and groin
@ChampRDS Well, it’s not Dustin’s fault that Benoit grew an anus on his head. If you can’t fight, then don’t.
@ChampRDS Yo why is everyone fighting with staph 😭 what good is an athletic commission fr 😂
@ChampRDS Staph doesn’t affect your boxing defense
@ChampRDS I mean it does explain why Benoit gassed out so fast. Homie looked exhausted by the end of the first even though he was winning by a lot.
