me too on that : McG has got distracted by all the other craziness wit his drinking and partying and the very didgy stories and assaulting old men and all that stuff.
Also this time he has to actually cut down to 155lbs as Dana said no to a 170lb fight.

Anyway, should be fun event. I hope it actually happens. Wouldn't surprise me if it all crumbled before the event date for some reason or another.

They've both gained weight and slowed down. Who has more power though? Who's going to have more stamina? Dustin is a lot older isn't going to fall for Conor's shit if the new mature Conor even talks shit

Gotta disagree.
Porier has definitely added weight but this is peak form Porier we're seeing.

I still think match up wise McGregor's karate based striking will always have the advantage over Porier's pure boxing approach but if McGregor can't finish it early I think he's in trouble. He's not ready for a dogfight.

Conors boxing is too much for him
 
I see Conor taking it unless Dustin mixes things up and goes for some TD and control time. He could def. Ko him in the later rounds t think ego will get in the way.

This isn’t going to be like the cowboy fight. Poirer is extremely capable. He’s very durable and tough. Poirer is going to take Conor deep, and make him earn this win. Conor better have the cardio to go 5 rounds, because he very well might be forced to.

If Conor does manage to finish Poirer in convincing fashion, then he needs to be fighting for a title next.

I don't see this massive evolving in Dustin's game like you all say. If anything he has more durability from going from 145 to 155, but he was always a very, very capable striker. His wrestling is average and grappling decent. Conor is criminally overrated by his fans but also criminally underrated by his haters. The guy is on a completely different level than Dustin as far as striking goes, he's much better.

You all make it seem like Poirier went to LW and became a different animal, Poirier got slept by Michael Johnson at LW. And he did because MJ had much faster and more powerful hands and Conor will sleep him because of that too. Every time Poirier fights someone with a speed and boxing advantage he gets rekt, he got rekt by Conor once and will be again.

And since then he out struck guys like max Holloway, Dan hooker, Justin, barboza, Alvarez twice.

Not sure why you’re trying to knock down poirer, if you’re a Conor fan you want his stock to be high. And let’s not act like Michael Johnson’s fight means much. Johnson is the greatest anomaly in mma and is the exact opposite of a measuring stick.
 
Poirier is a fantastic fighter and so is Conor. WE should be in for a banger. Can't fucking wait!!!

It is all about martial arts between these two right now. Quite sure Conor is going to be respectful.

Max Holloway is a volume puncher with no power at 155. Dan Hooker is not even on the same planet of skill as the guy's you mentioned or Conor, Edson isn't exactly a great boxer, Eddie had wars with Dustin. None of those names have the speed and boxing that Conor presents which was my point and why i brought up MJ who is similar in that regard.


Im not a Conor fan lol, i don't give a shit about him. The only fighter i care about is Jon Jones. I'm just telling you i don't think Poirier evolved that much. I never said he wasn't great, he's one of the best LWs in the world. I'm just telling you that when he fights a guy with a speed and boxing advantage he gets slept, Conor did it once and will do it again.

This will be like the Alvarez fight, Dustin is in over his head.

Irrelevant. Poirier has greatly improved.

It was relevant for Aldo, RDA and Cowboy. I feel like Poirier and Justin are the same mentally. Tony and Khabib are fighters whose gameplan will not get affected by mental games.
