He's been fighting the best lightweights and winning. And he's been staying much busier in the cage than Conor over the last four years. Also, the fight being at lightweight will be a game-changer. He's got an incredible work ethic and I think he's improved and evolved so much since their last meeting. Lauren Murphy, women's flyweight: I'm cheering for Dustin to pull off an upset. Jimmie Rivera, bantamweight: That's tough. Everyone is counting him out, but not me.Īlex Perez, flyweight: Poirier in the fourth.īeneil Dariush, lightweight: Hmm. But I'm going to go with Poirier for the win. The best we've seen at hyping and living up to the hype and getting in his opponent's head.
I think he's got a big brother thing going on with Dustin and a clear mental edge.ĭerek Brunson, middleweight: I like what McGregor brings to the table. Kelvin Gastelum, middleweight: I'm thinking Conor takes it, but I want to see Dustin get a knockout.Īl Iaquinta, lightweight: I think Conor wins. I just think he is going to be the more motivated fighter and more willing to dig deep in those fourth and fifth rounds and go to that dark place if need be.
And the key to this fight relies on where Conor's focus is.Ĭurtis Blaydes, heavyweight: I'm picking Poirier. Gilbert Burns, welterweight: I hope Dustin wins, but I think Conor will get the finish. Of course anything can happen, but I got McGregor. He looks the best I've seen him, and the guy hasn't stopped training even though he hasn't fought in a while. Stephen Thompson, welterweight: I have McGregor winning this one. Cody Garbrandt, former bantamweight champion: That's a tough one for me.
