Anyone else indifferent as to who wins Conor vs Poirer from a rooting perspective?

[TJ177]

And I don't mean those that will give the stock "UFC sux now" or "it doesn't count with Khabib" response .

I mean - is there anyone else who can recognize that this is an even match-up that is important and should be entertaining, but aren't really invested in caring who wins? I want to see a good fight.

If Conor wins it will probably set up more hilarity and bigger fights
If Dustin wins it will be well deserved vindication and redemption

Sherdog will be in hysterics either way so from a comedy perspective its immaterial who wins.

Anyone else on the fence from a rooting perspective?

I don't care who wins, I just don't want to see any cheating.

 

[Paulsp]

Hope Conor wins via the fastest ko in mma history so I can taste more sherdogger tears

there will be about 50 threads immediately about how it was rigged and Dustin took a dive

i want dustin to win or at least see a good fight that lasts all 5rds but believe the fight will be short aswell as controversial

 

[DjolexMTL]

I feel exactly the same way, I respect Dustin a lot as a human being and hope he gets to touch gold one day, but Conor winning would be a hilarious storyline (but I fear he would go box Pacquiao).

It's like the angel on my right shoulder is rooting for Dustin, and the demon on my left is rooting for Conor.

 

[LetThemBleed]

I'm not too fussed as long as it's a banger and someone gets knocked the fuck out.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

I hope there's betting odds for how many times Conor might cheat.

 

[The Chosen]

I want Conor to win because of future fights that can happen if he does

 

[TJ177]

I had that thought- but after all the dust settles couldn't that happen anyway? If Cobr wins he fights Pac and Dustin fights Chandler, and if Conor loses.... same thing anyway?

 

[Project2501]

this is a big fight for Poirer and he deserves to win but I just can't see it happening. Conor is a tough matchup for anybody not named Khabib

 

[Buckland]

This. Give me a legit KO, either way.

I'm rooting for Dustin but wouldn't be disappointed if Conor won. Either way there should be fun fights after. It will probably be better from a fan's point of view if Dustin wins. It's no telling what Conor would do if he wins. Dustin is more predictable with his career path.

 

[gevoudane]

I think the its better for the sport is Dustin wins.

 

[HatKick]

I don't see Conor defending if he wins. A victory would propel his status back to the point where fighting Pacqiao or starring in a movie or some bullshit would be the next logical step. So rooting for Poirier, but in the end may the best man win...

 

[Fahcough]

Used to enjoy Conor's brash presentation, but he's become a douche bag who thinks he's above the law and morality

Both are exciting fighters and look forward to every single fight, but would be amazing start to the year for Dustin to come in and put him to sleep with 1 clean punch. Head bouncing off canvas with no follow up.

 

[dildos]

No. I side with poirer.

 

[allheartwarrior]

I am rooting for Dustin. He is a better representative a mixed martial artists.

 

[bladewister]

I don't care either way as long as it's a good fight. Connor is more interesting but i don't care about his act anymore.

Agreed, man
Exactly how I'm feeling

Will be fun

Tough match up for Khabib too!!
