Dustin vs Conmac is good and will move to next title and next opponent for charles oliveira.
Best I can tell Gane won with a totally illegal strike not sure why anyone is celebrating but JDS needs to retire still.

Shane Burgos, TKO, R3
Really high on both these guys but I think Burgos is on another level, I predict him to wear Hakeem down and finish him late. Kind of like his Amirkhani fight

McGregor/Poirier
Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 405 Points | Tied for 1607th
But are we getting Conor in top form?
Poirier should remain patient and defend well until he gets a good read on Conor. If he can Dominick Cruz his way through the first 3 rounds, the extent of Conor's cardio will be exposed, for better or worse.
Having said that, and pushing my strong emotional considerations to the side, that left hook and elbow are no joke, and Conor may very well close the show early.
Too bad we can't make our picks up until just before the referee says "Fight,"(like they do in the sport of kings). It doesn't necessarily allow one to pick the winner, but it definitely helps identify likely losers,

Only and one Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirer
Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 500 Points | Tied for 354th
His boxing will give him a brutal ko.
Dustin have problems with Hooker last time.
This fight is very bad stylistic match up for Poirer.
Conor have a wonderful camp behind him, we can see the shape of his life.
The new year 2021 will be the year of the king's return to the lightweight throne.

Throw Gaethje and Chandler on it and it's a justifiable purchase. Other than that Jessica ******* Eye v Joanne Calderwood will be the CO-MAIN EVENT for a PPV.

This ******* lost to Will Brooks TWICE, giving up in the second fight. He is a bum and will be fun to watch him get crushed.
