Dustin by KO or Sub

Now, use your other account to make the BOLD prediction that McGregor will win fantastically and you will be the greatest psychic that Sherdog has ever seen...
Shit, dude that’s a great idea. I’d be a white belt on the new account tho..
 
Dustin taking his money & going down just like Cowboy. lol @ you all expecting legit contest. You really think Conor would donate to Dustin’s charity without a sure victory? Dana is getting his Conor/Khabib rematch by any means necessary. Dustin gets life changing money, Conor wins “in style” & we get Khabib/Conor 2, Dana wins.
 
It’s already decided.
Conor is washed up.
his heart/body/mind isn’t in it anymore, and who could blame him? He’s rich.

Dustin is way hungrier going into this, also it’s revenge.

There's no reason to think Conors washed tbh.

That is genuinely my ONLY worry with betting on this fight. I honestly think DP wins a fair contest but he is such a family man I don’t know if he would turn down a fat check to secure his family’s future... he doesn’t strike me as the “dive” type of guy though.
 
Dustin took a ton of damage against Hooker. Difference is Conor has true power and will KO Dustin if the same shots connect.


If Dustin comes to brawl he’s finished.
 
Overall better fighter? Elaborate?
I think Dustin has better cardio more heart better defensive and offensive wrestling better grappling but Conor is the superior striker and has a better chin. Styles make fights. I think Conor probably takes this one but I think Dustin matches up with chandler and chuck much better than Conor does
 
I don't know how you define a top athlete, but Conor definitely is one for me.
Well, we don't agree on that. That's life. My definition of a top athlete is not just about the money one has. Rather, showing performance day in and day out. However, if you had written "good fighter", I would not have written anything. Even if Conor isn't that for me either.

idt Dustin is the type to take a dive. Plus there is much more incentive in defeating Mcgregor (would lead to a triology) then a dive.

If Dustin loses to Mcgregor, it simply means Conor is the better fighter that night, and that he has Dustin's number. Mentally wise, Dustin thinks he can beat Conor, and it's true he can. But Conor Knows that he can beat Dustin, which he has.

Stylistic wise, Conor should be able to beat him. Conor advantage in striking is larger than Dustin's advantage in grappling, which he doesn't really use. Plus Dustin will likely want to stand and bang with Conor. Not to say Dustin can't win. As the fight gets closer and closer, I'm starting to lean more towards Dustin then I initally did. Still favor Conor 55/45 though.

I agree that Dustin would likely do better against Chandler and Oliveria compared to Conor.

You make a good point about potential trilogy $$$ etc.
DP has found his stride at LW and is obviously head and shoulders above the fighter he was when they last faced off. I think his confidence coming into this will be high and he is going to be the more well conditioned athlete. Hoping he can drag Mcgregor into deep water and wear him out with inside fighting and pressure against the cage (he doesn’t even necessarily need to get the takedowns). His chin is underrated he has had wars with absolute monsters (ik he’s been KO’d by Johnson and Conor) but his recovery is amazing and he has heart for days.
I’m going to put a decent size bet on DP to win this fight. I’ll be sure to post it when I do.

I agree that Dustin has found his stride at LW, however none of the LW's he fought fights like Conor. None of them are near his caliber when it comes to striking. Dustin's chin is better at LW, but Conor will also possess more power at LW, so the advantages may essentially cancel out.

Still, I am rooting for Dustin to win. I really want to see him as LW champ, it would be a Rocky type moment if he beat Conor. Sadly the media has basically given Dustin no chance and very few interviews, and they are acting as if Conor has already won the fight.

Out of the top LW's Khabib is my favorite, but something about Dustin defeating Conor and then potentially defeating Khabib sounds poetically nice. Dude has fought the who's who of the division and has only come short against the very best (MJ loss aside). Like i said it would be like Rocky moment, hell it may be even better.

Jesua bro. You starting to sound like

I see this a lot. The gap between their respective grappling skills is smaller than the gap between their striking skills. People still look at Diaz choking Conor out in 2016 and Mendes taking him down at FW in 2015 and say his grappling is bad. I’ll be very surprised if Dustin outgrapples Conor with ease. He’s evolved a lot imo. Balance, takedown defence, get ups. Dustin will also have to pressure Conor to the cage to have any chance at the TD, but he will have to eat a lot of strikes in order to do that. Conor by KO, and by being the better fighter. Oh, and Conor vs Chandler would be such a mismatch, as Conor vs Alvarez was.

Would love that outcome but I don't see it.
