Poirier by TKO or submission, Round 3.
I also think they should definitely make this fight.

How does poirier win easilyPoirier, quite easily. It wouldn't be close.
How does Conor win easilyConor EASILY
IF Conor can completely avoid alcohol / drugs / parties / courts, does some very serious training and gets somewhat back to his former motivated / focused self, then he can probably still win any LW fights (Tony included IMO) and even give Khabib a decent challenge in the inevitable rematch.
IF.
Simple either a fairly easy KO, using superior boxing, harder shots. He knocked out Gaethje for God's sake, (plus others), what more proof u need of hard accurate boxing?How does poirier win easily
How does Conor win easily
McGregor's striking is a lot betterI know everyone on here hates mcgregor and refuse to think about him objectively, but let's honestly talk about this matchup. Assuming McGregor comes out of retirement and actually fights somebody, who wins? I can honestly see it going either way because McGregor is still an incredible striker and the reason khabib caught him was because khabib smartly tricked him into thinking he was gonna take him down while Dustin poirier has improved significantly since they last fought and has much more of a shot against McGregor. If we get the focused Conor McGregor who knocked out Aldo, Conor wins, but if we get the McGregor who is drunk out of his mind punching old men, Poirier wins.I can imagine Poirier winning by tko and I can also imagine McGregor winning, right now I feel like it's an even matchup, it really depends what McGregor we get fight day. At the end of the day, i still think McGregor would win because McGregors striking is just so high level but I wouldn't be shocked if McGregor comes into the fight out of shape and poirier makes him pay for it
Right on broI'd favor Conor, but would expect it to be more competitive than the first time around.
Main reason being: Conor's still in Dustin's head. We'd see a return of Cletus and everything and it would be all over before it even started.
