I see it exactly the opposite of you, including everything about the two fighters. Poirier's resolve and technique against Corissani impressed me so much that I can't imagine picking against him. McGregor is reckless.

hope that makes sense.

He was dropped once and rocked three times. His resolve was impressive, but holes in technique allowed all of those rocks.
Also, calling McGregor reckless might be insane. He's the most accurate boxer in the division with superb footwork who barely gets hit. You're just wrong on this one.

Conor has great finishing instinct, and given the same chance Poirier gave those two, will put him away.

Man, Gibson got a lot of tattoos removed. And his face changed. And his hair.
Nice job production team
