I'm hoping Tony can take a W here and retire. Otherwise I think Dariush wins by KO in the 3rd round if the same Tony from the Oliveria fight shows up.

I'm with @Tieoken. It's a wrinkle of the sport: it's entertainment as well as competition. It would be unthinkable to "run back" a controversial razor-thin AFC championship game for the $$$ and have the NFC winner play the CFL champ in the Super Bowl, but in prizefighting, it's nigh-unthinkable to leave a huge PPV seller on the table. A little bittersweet for folks who value the integrity of the championship over "whatever sells", but that's the reality we live in.
ETA: this is not to disrespect Olivera or Chandler. Either would be a good choice against Poirier for the title, and the winner will be a more marketable opponent for the winner of Dustin/Conor.

Charles Oliveira, TKO, R2
I doubt this will go the distance either way. Chandler will be going for the knockout, but that's a double-edged sword.
Ferguson vs. Dariush
Tony Ferguson, TKO, R3
A year ago, it would have been blasphemy to pick against Ferguson. I'm sticking with him, but the milage might take this one from me.
