Let's think about this for a second. I do believe Dustin is going to out last Charles. Charles could win but if he does I think it would have to be a streamroll over Dustin and I just don't see it happening.
If Dustin wins we already know he will want the biggest payday he can get and fighting Conor after what happened in the 3rd fight and all the bad blood will lead to wayyyyy more money off ppv points than a rematch with Justin.
I don't care what the lying pink goof said we all know what he says is usually nonsense so I put little faith in him saying Justin is next. I think we see Dustin KO the leprechaun again.

well a few thoughts.....
1) Dana has already said that Gaethje gets the winner of Poirier and Oliveira
2) McGregor is *not* gonna be in any shape to fight in a high-level UFC fight until I'd say August or Sept. July at absolute earliest, dependent on the orthopedic surgeons directives, but I think July is def pushing it.
3) I think Poirier has no interest in fighting McG after the death-threats against his wife and child by the Irishman (and yes he did, go do the research). He really doesn't need the money anymore.
4) Poirier and Oliveira (whoever wins) won't want to sit around for 8 or 9 or 10months for Irishman to appear, limping.
5) UFC don't want to piss Gaethje off any more, so, again, Gaethje is IN (about the most exciting 155lb'r there is).
6) McG has next to no chance at all at 155lbs anymore against any serious contenders.
7) McG will fight Nate Diaz next, I'm pretty sure of that, at 170lbs. He needs to actually WIN at this point cos he keeps losing and Nate Diaz is about the only "name" he has a chance against.
8) McG seems intent to, magically, amazingly, get bigger and bigger, so I don't think him getting to 155lbs will be a walk in the park, (one leg, or two legs).
That'll do for starters.
