On the ground, the Frenchman escapes and the two men get up. Beno\u00eet Saint Denis takes Dustin Poirier&#8217;s back and pins him against the cage. Standing, the native of N\u00eemes is effective with good knees to the body. In boxing, he also manages to shake Poirier. In a favorable position, BSD attempts to place a rear choke on \u2018The Diamond\u2019. Daniel Woirin&#8217;s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 finishes very strongly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THE DIAMOND GETS THE KO IN ROUND 2 \ud83d\ude24<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC299?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC299<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DustinPoirier?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DustinPoirier<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DouV3eQeKD\">pic.twitter.com\/DouV3eQeKD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1766697304071811315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Round 2: On the other hand, BSD is hit by a huge right from Poirier and falters. The American attempts a guillotine in the process, but the Frenchman regains the upper hand. The fight takes on the appearance of war, with a large volume thrown on both sides. Once again, the &#8216;God of War&#8217; is hit and loses his lucidity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two terrible right-left hooks then reached Saint Denis, who was knocked to the ground by another right hook before being finished off by a violent punch while he was already lying in the middle of the octagon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBSD\u201d thus suffered the second defeat of its career and will have to go through intermediate battles before catching a glimpse of the summit..
