If Conor lands on Poirier the way that Hooker was landing on Poirier, it is going to be a short night for Dusty P.

Anyone picking Poirier to win needs to watch the Hooker fight again, Hooker outstruck Poirier for the first two rounds.

If Dustin tries to strike with Conrad the 1st round like he did in their first fight, he'll probably get KO'd again.

The blue print has been laid out, and Khabib was the first guy to actually implement it. Wrestle Conrad and run his tank in the first round, Conrad doesn't have any KOs after the 2nd if I recall correctly. Clinch, wrestle, and make Conrad work in the 2nd, by the 3rd round his power advantage will be gone and his striking is a lot more manageable.

I think Dustin's wrestling and jitz is more than sufficient to keep it on the mat until the 3rd and then he can open up his striking, and then try to go for the finish. I like DP's chances, and I feel fairly confident he can take this fight.

I'm having a hard time forgetting that Dustin lost the first 2 rounds in his last fight against Hooker and both rounds were on the feet. Its possible Dustin will have a different gameplan for Conor and try to wrestle early like you said, but he's no Khabib. If he fails at a couple td attempts then he's a sitting duck. I'm leaning towards Conor getting the victory.
 
I think Conrad takes it however he wants in the first 2 rounds, Dustin couldnt oustrike Dan Hooker and if Dustin wants to wrestle we have yet to see could he even be able to take Conor down Kebab took minutes to takedown fresh Conor in first round

 
As much as I would love to see Dustin flatline Conor, its easy to forget that Conor got where he did by winning fights. My money would be on Mcgregor if I was a betting man.

That being said I'll be rooting for Dustin. Seems like a good guy.
 
I think it’s closer this time but Mcgregor drops him again
 
I’m leaning towards Dustin but Conor absolutely could win it.

I think the fans overall win here. Good to see them having a long awaited rematch.

Yup. Poirier went for 6 takedown attempts against Hooker in Round 2 of their fight, and failed at all of them.
 
Would like to see Poirier beat him but he's not the fighter I have faith in to do so. In fact I think he's overrated on here. You actually had a decent amount of people thinking he was going to beat Khabib.

I think Ferg or Gaethje are more likely to take out Conor than Dustin. Wish it was one of them instead.
 
Conor wins. I think Dustin does more Dave this time around and makes it further into the fight, but this will be stand up and Conor is too much on the feet.
 
Conor should be the favorite, but I have no idea what conor looks like anymore, so it's hard to predict. Dustin has a path to victory, but I'm not sure if he's smart enough or has the mental fortitude to pull it off.
 
Conor chews him up again I suspect.

Hoping Dustin pulls off a Shad/Salmon type KO of the Irish fuck, but that’s a pipe dream!

The fact that he went for them and made hooker work, though, is a good sign. Let's just hope he doesn't need to get rocked by conor before deciding to clinch conor.

So many people in this thread hanging on to 5+ years ago.

1 win in 4 years, and against a washed up gatekeeper named Jobber Cerrone.

Dustin will destroy him.

I will be waiting for you to post your bet slip come fight night since you are this confident
 
People who don't know me will call me a nuthugger but I can't do anything about that.

I think Conor beats everyone at 155 except Khabib. I think Tony is maybe the greatest MMA fighter of all time but right now Conor would wreck him. I like Dustin as a person and a fighter, he was IC for a reason but everything changes when Conor connects with the left. His footwork is too upsetting and he gauges distance very, very well. People here are almost completely incapable of proper assessment of his skills because he acts like such a clown. Dustin would wake up about two minutes into the second round, I think Justin would get smashed even more quickly.

If Tony could get Conor to the ground he would win but I don't know if he can. FWIW I think Tony would beat Khabib
 
I am shocked that 40% think Dustin will win. SHOCKED!

Conor will kill him, again. The point of this matchup is an easy title shot for Conor. How is that not obvious ?

I mean the question is who do you predict will win, not who you want to win.

I get how some of you are diplomatic in your answers... like Dustin has improved... he might win... 155 Dustin... something something..... no he hasn't and no he won't. Dustin ain't winning shit.

Conor via 1st rnd destruction.

How are you people not getting that this multi million dollar dude had a year of "retirement" mixed with multimillion dollar "nutrition" and training camp. Dustin can't afford shit like that.
