Don't @ me

I cannot picture a scenario in which Conrat beats dP.
DP is not the same FW as the last matchup.
He is experienced, battle tested, motivated and has actually won credible fights in the last 3 years.
Ignoring the Cerrone work, Conor has only been made to look stupid since 12th November, 2016.
Let that sink in.
Over four years since he has had a legitimate Win.
Since then DP has fought and beat Miller, JG, Pettis, Eddie, Max and Hooker.
And looked alright against The GOAT.

A mature, composed DP shrugs off Conor's bullshit power and subs him via RNC or guillotine in the third.

I'd like Dustin to win as much as the next guy but you also didn't mention the fact than in every fight he's had since that Conor one, he's still been very hittable.

That's his biggest weakness and I don't think you can afford to take too many punches against someone like Conor. It won't end well, I can see Conor countering him pretty early on if I'm honest.

DP has learnt from his wars.
He knows Conor doesn't have the the tank to go at him like jG or hooker did.
He'll play it smart for 10-12 minutes, ride the storm, then pour it on.
Secure a TD, take the back, choke the Leprechaun
 
In professional sports it happens that participants are paid to loose. Who knows.

I will just sit watch and enjoy. My guess is that DP will win.

There are 3 weekends in a row of UFC so i expect more from other matches, where i can count on good competition.

"I can't deal with Conor winning, so I'm already preparing the excuse of a fixed fight in case he does".

Childlike behaviour.

I don't think DP has learnt though, he's overcome the wars 100% and rode the storms but you can't ride the storms with Conor, when have we seen DP ever choke anyone out though aswell?

I love Dustin but he's openly said he wants to make this fight a war, it doesn't end well for Dustin if that's the case.

Dustin is a great fighter but he's not necessarily the smartest either. Hooker had him in trouble, MJ KO'd him, Conor has significantly better KO power than both of them and can counter Dustin.

I would LOVE Dustin to win but this fight goes exactly the way I think most expect it to.
