Thank God Conor doesn't have to cut that much height anymore!

Hazys

Looks like his reach as well as his height has increased too since his last fight...


A sneak peak into his new training regime:

Woah didn't expect that fight to come around that quickly. 2 month turnaround for Conor. Granted he took very little damage last weekend.

moneyman

Excellent news. Huge test for him, he'll have to be in the top 5 if he wins. Then maybe one more fight away from a title shot. Poirier is excellent but I really believe Conor can beat him. Going to be huge build up too, they seem to genuinely dislike each other.

Im not a Mcgregor fanboy or anything of the sort but I seriously think hes going to put a serious beat down on Porier,what has porier done so good that makes him an extra hard fight hes beaten the like of eric koch and corasani both going no where in the ufc lost to cub danny castillo and the korean zombie all his toughest fights he lost every one them


Easy win for Conor dont give Dustin a chance against the hottest prospect in the division.

This is exactly my thinking, I honestly see another first round KO by Conor.

Corassani had Poirier badly hurt in the first round of their fight but he was reluctant to jump in and finish him when he had the chance. Really let Poirier off the hook. Poirier is a good fighter though no doubt but he is not hard to hit. If Conor catches him early (and I believe he will) there will be no hesitation in trying to finish him.

DP is a quality, quality fighter. Not like anybody Mcgregor has beaten thus far.


Anybody considering going over for this?

Yep, very very hesitant to go in for the kill,McGregor on the other hand would have swarmed on him imo.

Eeeeeeeeewwwwww

Poirier is a top class fighter.
This is certainly not an easy fight for Conor.

If he can beat him convincingly he's in the top 5 and 1-2 fights from a title shot.
Cannot wait for it already.

Wonder how the bookies will price it?

stealinhorses

I think people in this thread are making the mistake of looking at Dustin's resume rather than at how he fights. He is a great scrambler and always comes forward, with sick BJJ and a lot of power behind his punches. He's been in the UFC for a long time now and will relish this opportunity with a full camp and build up.

He has been relatively susceptible to getting stunned in the 1st round. I see that as the major way for Conor to win this fight. Otherwise he might be in over his head if he lets Poirier settle into the fight and god forbid let it go to the ground.

In any case, this is the People's main event for UFC 178

ASOT

Has anyone here gone to events in Vegas yet? Whats it like tickets wise? Think a few of us will be heading over for 3/4 days as its coming up the same priceish as another holiday we were looking at for them dates. How difficult would it be getting tickets for this?

CurryFlavoured

Delighted with that match-up. He leaves himself open standing up and despite being ranked #6 he doesn't have any big wins, just a couple of hardfought losses against Cub and Chan. Akira Corassani had him rocked in round 1 and he's bang average.
