Now, to preface, I am not speculating that Conor won't fight again if he loses, I simply feel that if Conor loses this fight, then all we get is pointless (yet fun) money fights until he retires.
Before 2021, Conor hadn't fought with the mindset of "If I win this, then I get a title shot in X division" since he beat Dennis Siver in 2015. Every fight since then (pre-2021) has been a title fight, money fight, or whatever he was doing with Cowboy for 40 seconds. I think, pending UFC 264, we could see Conor fight Nate for the trilogy, Masvidal possibly, Max 2 could be fun, or even the dreaded Conor vs whichever Paul brother the wheel lands on.
I'm new to Tapology and would love to hear what you all think on this subject. Also, for transparency, I dont think Conor has much chance at all against Dustin in the trilogy.

But, you're very right. As long as Conor doesnt look totally washed this weekend, he will be a heavy draw.

He was killing diaz in first fight then got tagged panicked and gave the fight up.
That being said his skills will keep him around this level for the foreseeable future.
If he does diaz 3 I want it at 155 and I will pick him for ko he knows diaz tricks and timing he should beat him Much like bj vs hughes 3 but it will take more than one punch one combo night night end of trilogy.

And he will always have a strong following that eat up his words and will tune in for his fight. In a recent interview he said, he is keeping the enemy "in a suspended state of terror." Most people would be laughed out of the interview with a response like that referring to someone who knocked you out.
His mental warfare and showbiz hoopla can and will still have an affect on his opponents, but I don't think it will work on DP to the extent to get him away from his game-winning game-plan.
I enjoy and am grateful to McGregor and Poirier for providing such entertainment in and out of the ring.

i think Porier will knock mcgregor out. i respect connor for everything he did for the sport, but he's not in the level of top 5 of lightwheight division. Despite of this, he always make a good fight.
Porier will put him down in the first and second rounds, and will knock him out in third.
Michael pereira fight will be the most interesting fight of the night. this guy are insane and he have a great future in ufc. one day he will bring the belt for brazil.
i think gilbert burns will submit wonderboy in the second round. he is a most highest level grappler of this division, and jiu jitsu always save.
