Agree it is good for the fans if Conor wins. I'll be surprised if Conor walks through Dustin. Can't wait for this one

I'm very split on this.

Poirier has been tagged in his last couple fights. I think Conor should be able to tag and finish him.

If it goes to the ground, I think Poirier will get the sub. He's pretty damn slick on the ground.

I'll be seeing this fight live, and I'm more pumped for this than the rest of the card.

I always want the more exciting fighter to win. This time however I will make an exception for the simple reason of observing Conno'ts rhetoric after he loses. I can't wait to hear him talk after a loss. Should be comedy gold in whatever direction he decides to take it.

Usually I'm against brash talking fighters, but Connor's story and rise resonates with me. He doesn't fight defensively, he doesn't back track, and he does exactly what he says. To me that's s1 with supreme confidence and potentially championship qualities down the road. During the press conference staredown DP did look reserved. I think CM will overwhelm DP to a TKO win by the end of the 1st or 2nd round. He fights at an incredible pace that nobody can keep up. Dude goes the full 'sprint'...I dunno how he does it. If he could theoretically keep that up for five rounds then he would be up there with Nick Diaz, Cain and GSP in terms of conditioning.

The Irish king will smash Poirer. His striking is ELITE. Poirer's already mentally defeated. McGregor genuinely believes he's the best fighter in the world, he has a confidence about him you only see once in a blue moon. I think he's some thing special personally.

He's not in the UFC to take part, he's here to take over.
