Hoping for Dustin, but I think McGregor will take it. Holloway was lighting Poirier up until the takedown. McGregor made Holloway look bad on the feet, and I'm not sure Poirier has good enough wrestling to put McGregor on his back. If Poirier can't get the fight to the ground, he's going to have problems.

good stuff, think that Conor might take it. Let's see how far the McGregor Hyptrain can go.

shaping up to be a really nice PPV that might drop off some good profit for the UFC having Jones and McGregor on it aswell as the Comebacks of Cruz(fingers crossed) and Zingano

I think this will be too much too fast for Mcgregor but you never know. Poirier is definitely hittable and if Mcgregor hits as hard as everyone says, we'll see. But Poirier is too experienced and too well-rounded, I think.

Win or lose Poirier will give Conor his toughest fight by far!!

Super stoked for this one. Dustin will need to look a lot sharper than he did against Akira.

If all pans out...

Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson II
Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier
Yoel Romero vs Tim Kennedy
Rory MacDonald vs Tarec Saffiedine
Dominick Cruz vs Takeya Miyazaki

Is this the most stacked main card since UFC 100?

I have a feeling MacDonald vs. Saffiedine will be put on UFC 177 to help build up that card.

@condit- probably not. 4 weeks for 4op guys usually isn't enough. i'd say headlining Halifax would be the best.

MacDonald vs. Saffiedine would be perfect for the Nova Scotia card. Hopefully TJ Grant can make his return for that card as well.

I was actually thinking that McGregor vs. Poirier might headline the Stockholm card because Gustafsson can't fight on that card, and the UFC will probably look to book a high profile European fighter in the main event.
