Poirier vs. McGregor III
Conor McGregor, TKO, R5
Every time I pick for Conor to win he loses, and vice versa. I'm not kidding, I have technically not predicted a Conor fight correctly since the Mendes fight. So I'm going to see if I can curse him one more time.

Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, DEC
I hope Wonderman can pull this off. If Gilbert wins it's going to be by finish 100%

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R3
Feels like a mismatch, but who knows how bad Tuivasa really is.

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 1923rd

Poirier vs. McGregor III
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R4
I'm picking Dustin by 4th round KO just because Conor said he would win by KO in the 4th.

Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, TKO, R3
This is gonna be a nightmare match for Thompson. I'm rooting for him though. Head says Burns strangles him though.

Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
My god. Topuria is going to absolutely destroy Hall. Not as bad as Ige would have, but it is still going to be a rough night for Hall's BJJ butt buddies.

Zhumagulov vs. Rivera
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
This should actually be a really fun fight to watch, even if it is irrelevant in the long run.

So we got some weird drama leading up to this trilogy. Here is the current timeline of events:


-Conor posts his prediction for the fight on his Instagram page:

"The prediction is in! Iā€™m going to win the trilogy fight via A Front Kick to the nose. Round number 4. His Nose needs straightenin and Iā€™m Rhinoplasty šŸ¦"
https://www.instagram.com/p/CNclaFzp_63/


--Dustin responds to this in a Tweet:

"That's a fun prediction! @TheNotoriousMMA you also predicted a donation to my foundation and you and your team stopped responding after the fight in January. See you soon. July 10th Paid In Full!"
https://twitter.com/DustinPoirier/status/1381388524163850243

---Conor replies on Twitter:
"A donation, not a debt. Weā€™ve been awaiting the plans for the money that never came. I do with all my donations. Know where itā€™s going dot for dot. Otherwise it goes walking. As is the case with a lot of these foundations, sadly. You took the McG over the belt shows I was right."
https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/1381468593158766592


----And Dustin replies in a quote Tweet:
"100% never a debt. You offered, we accepted, and like I said your Team never responded to our emails regarding the process of where funds would be put to work! July 10th you will taste defeat yet Again"

Hopefully this is just hype. Either way, the whole kayfabe aspect of crap like this is what sours a lot of folks on the sport.

Does Conor still have sexual assault charges pending, or has that all cleared up?

That's why I've become a ONE and PFL fan.  They don't need to be fake like the UFC.  I think the UFC will become a pro-wrestling promotion at some point.

I don't like agreeing with Conor but he's right about the need to be extremely careful when donating to charities/NFP's. Any time you do this there' s a very good chance your money is going straight into the pockets of a marketing company or a ****** executive. In Australia Cobra Group is involved with most of the big-name charities.

You've probably heard in the news the last few days that the co-founder of BLM, Patrisse Khan-Cullor ( a self-proclaimed "Marxist") just bought another 1.4 million dollar mansion, and now owns a total of three of them. I doubt very much that's what people had in mind for their hard-earned money when they donated.

Conor deserves shade for a multitude of reasons but not throwing money at a charity with carte blanche to do whatever they want with it isn't one of them.

Yeah but he should have made those considerations before promising to donate, not after. It's too late now.

Bro do you watch One, One fake a few fight for Angela and Christian Lee, and the ones that ainā€™t fake, the ref let them cheat there ass off. They overturn  A fight because Giogio Petrosion loss and he the biggest kickboxer in the world, And the weight could all be lies. Say what you want about Dana, but he never do that for Conor, espaccly because they have Commision and is Illegal to do all of that.One has dope fights but donā€™t act like they follow the Busido code

@Fisty he gave an abstract verbal commitment to donating at best. Nothing was signed,  and everything  was up in the air. It was tantamount to nothing. It's not like he defrauded anybody. You can tut-tut about the fact he was kind of deceptive and might have ( probably did) use a potential donation as leverage to make the fight happen but it's not the worst thing in the world. Dustin shouldn't have taken him on his word. He's not an honorable man. He's a ratfink ginger ******.

Hope Dustin sleeps him again.

I think because it's charity Dustin didn't think that Conor would stiff him on the donation. That's pretty low, all things considered. But hey, at least we found Conor's bottom and how low he's willing to stoop.
