Tire him out until round 3 where he can finish him otherwise it’s who ever connects on the button first! I think Conor might go to sleep this time around and I know I’m going against the popular belief here but Dustin became more of a man physically and gained more experience so I’m going with him to finish the Irishman! Who is your pick?
 
I honestly don’t know who I’m actually picking to win. It’s a pretty even fight for the most part. Once you toss the bias of Conor’s ridiculous fanbase aside.

Conor could win in the first 2 rounds. Or Dustin could take a decision or get a late sub. Those are the scenarios most likely to me.

But, I’m solidly cheering tor Dustin to get his revenge.
 
Conor could spark him out and it wouldn't be surprise to anyone. Dustin is durable, strong, a good striker and willing to trade. But when you mix that last part with his fight IQ issues and tendency to eat shots to land shots, it's a recipe for disaster early on.

He's part of a very diverse and intelligent camp. If they can put together a plan when he mixes it up, utilizes the clinch, presses Conor against the cage, shoots for takedowns and makes him work, he's got a chance. If he fights like he did against Hooker and Gaethje, it might be a quick night for Dustin.
 
Dustin wins via being more well rounded and having the depth of heart and cardio to drag Conor into deep water. This isn’t the same Dustin that Conor faced 6 years ago at 145, he has fought and beaten some of the best fighters in the world and found his home at 155. He is game for this and will prove a lot of doubters wrong. Feel free to bump this.

I would be completely and utterly shocked if this fight ever leaves the feet. This is going to be a 10 minute fight at best. Stylistically Dustin just does not have much going for himself here. He has to strike to win. And he’s just not on the level of Conor McGregor on the feet in anyway.

dustins a very hard worker and i have a lot of respect for that. i think hes gotten better at everything, but hasnt changed anything - the blueprint is the same and i think conor will do what he did last time, unfortunately. part of dustins style is being wiling to get hit, not good for this fight.

Conor Honestly has fairly good TDD..

It’s pretty underrated to be honest. I don’t see that really working. It’s going to come down to the striking and the counter striking. That is Conor McGregor’s world all day.

This right here. Conor showed good grappling and TDD against Khabib, but small positional mistakes cost him. I think in a rematch he can beat Khabib this time
 
It's probably not a bad idea but Dustin probably can't spam takedowns without fatiguing himself more. Plus Conor has good TDD and is willing to cheat and would get away with it.

If he does get a takedown, he better make good use of it.

Part of me think Dustin wants to win via standing and striking and get the KO. Nobody in UFC has been able to do that to Conor, although Nate was close

Sounds like a pretty easy bet for you to make then. If I was that sure about something I’d bet the farm on it. If I actually had a farm. Unlike most Sherdoggers I don’t have much money to spare at all.

Obviously anything can happen, but style wise I just love this fight for Conor McGregor. And Conor shows up. He usually puts on quite the show.

Does good TDD include being ALLOWED to grab shorts, hold gloves, hold the fence?

He gets rocked almost every single fight. And he’s in there with one of the greatest finishers of all time.

He also has incredible recovery and I believe he will stand with Conor for the first two rounds and utilize a full array of techniques including cage and clinch work entry/exit to start to wear him down. I think Dustin will gain some new fans this fight.
