@skelli I really don't understand why McGregor is such a big favorite, I'll be the first to give McGregor major props because I think he's in for a fight that he's not going to win. I'll admit my Poirier by sub pick is more of a heart pick, but I'm confident that he'll at least pull out a decision. Even though he hasn't faced much adversity in his UFC fights, he seems like the type of guy who would be as tough as they come and not wilt to the pressure that an aggressive fighter like Poirier is going to put on him. But Poirier is a ******* gangster.

Imagine if Frankie was to beat Swanson, do you think they would give the winner of Conor/Dustin a title fight?

I do hate the fact that Poirier is his opponent tonight as I am a huge fan of his.

@BeastyBoy
The UFC has a history of disrespecting Edgar, he's probably gotten used to it.

McGregor is a big favorite because, on paper, he has an astronomical advantage on the feet. Dustin gets dropped in all of his fights, especially when he's emotional. Conor is a pinpoint counter striker with KO power that loves aggressive strikers ... which is exactly what Poirier is.
Conor also uses angles expertly, while Poirier literally walks forward ala Cerrone and punches until someone falls. He's flat-footed.

You mean the UFC needs McGregor to win tonight.
Discipline will trump aggression tonight. Across the board.
