Haha, thanks Viking. I hope your managing to not go insane with the absence of MMA. This break always sucks. Who you got for Conor vs Dustin?The only right answer here is @Zebra Cheeks
Would.Proof for this very true statement:

You'll be the judge.Would.
wait, do I have to say “no homo” after that?
Can somebody even say “no homo” after that?
It’s a tough haul making it through the days of no MMA. Hope you’re hanging in there. Happy new year by the way.Haha, thanks Viking. I hope your managing to not go insane with the absence of MMA. This break always sucks. Who you got for Conor vs Dustin?
Thanks buddy, happy new year to you as well. Yeah, I think Dustin is mentally a solid guy at this point. Hes really risen to the occasion often and hes really well equipped for this fight. The thing about Dustin is hes good for 5 rounds. So I think its the classic matchup of "how do you navigate those first two rounds". After that, I think Dustin will have a shot at really putting it on Conor. Gun to my head, I pick Conor. But I think Dustin has a great shot.It’s a tough haul making it through the days of no MMA.

Dustin vs. Conor is a tough call. I’m a sucker for a redemption/underdog story so would love to see Dustin take the W. I wonder if mentally he can get past the loss from 6 years ago though. Conor really got to him in the lead up to that one and obviously embarrassed him in the cage. Hoping Dustin’s head is right.

You’ve got a great take on this one my man. Speaking of, are you going to do your “hot takes” threads again? I thought those were a lot of fun.Thanks buddy, happy new year to you as well.

You had me going there in the first half buddyYou’ve got a great take on this one my man. Speaking of, are you going to do your “hot takes” threads again? I thought those were a lot of fun.
Here my “hot take” for this one:
-Conor comes out looking to counter with power shots early
-Dustin looks sharp and evades the power counters, landing a few sharp combos in round 1
-Conor looks fresh at the start of round 2, maybe all that bicycling is finally paying off? He stays on the outside, trying to bait Poirier into doing something reckless.
-Dustin charges forward at the end of round 2 and rocks Conor with a crisp one-two! McGregor stumbles and then goes for a double leg! Dustin can’t fight it off and goes down!
-In between rounds, Kavanagh gives Conor some advice that isn’t quite picked up by the broadcast microphone. Conor has a surprised look on his face but nods in acceptance. McGregor looks to have recovered from being rocked but he is looking a little gassed.
-Across the octagon, Dustin is looking confident and ready to pour it on in Round 3.
-They come out for 3, both circling and looking for an opening...Dustin charges in with a combo and as he does so, to the surprise of everyone except Kavanagh and Conor, McGregor ducks under and gets the take down again!
-Dustin looks shocked as he tries to protect himself from the bottom.
-A few submission attempts from Dustin, but Conor’s SMOTHERING top control is too much.
- As round 3 nears to a close, Conor locks up a Von Flue choke, forcing Dustin to tap with just 8 seconds left in the round!
- As Conor is announced as the winner, Khabib enters the octagon and wraps the LW belt around McGregor’s waist. They share a hug and in the post fight, we learn that Conor has secretly been apprenticing under Khabib since early 2019.
-In an unexpected twist, Joe Rogan lights Dana up with an axe kick during the post fight while yelling, “OH! HE’S HURT!”, over and over again until security escorts him from the premises.
The JBG is pleased and smiles down upon us all.
HeeheeYou had me going there in the first half buddy
