Burns is very popular after the war with Khamzat
Good stylistical match up for McGregor
Would hype up McGregor vs Chimaev/Usman if Conor wins
Would make Burns a superstar if he wins
 
Burns takes him down, tires him out, and knocks him out in the second round.
 
He is a good matchup, but Conor still gets crushed

Even if he was at his best top 170's are too big for him
 
Dont see Burns taking him down. Even Khabib struggled with it.
Khabib took him down in like 10 seconds and that was all she wrote. Conor was fatigued and done.

Burns is thick and solid. He'll take him down easier than Poirier did.
 
Burns has BJJ that keeps wrestlers honest and good power on the feet.

He doesn't have suffocating wrestling. A high level striker with TDD is a nightmare match up.
And Burns tends to gas out as well, most people won't get it, but he actually is a good matchup compared to the other 170's, but Conor is past his prime, and too small
 
I'd actuallly favour McGregor

I'm not sure if he would beat CM Punk at this point.
Dude is stiff as a board, plodding in the mud and just a punching bag in there once he gets clocked hard. Needs Ido.
