Favors PoirierNeither fighter shoots often, but Poirier attempts 1.2 submissions per 15 minutes once a scramble starts.
Favors PoirierRead the first two minutes for who is willing to lead and who is countering; the stored numbers do not flag a lopsided early-round finisher.
The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Poirier averages 5.2 landed per minute to Jung at 3.9, so Jung needs the counters to land clean (41% accuracy on record).
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
