UFC 178 - McGregor-Poirier**Tune in from 3:30 onwards to see McGregor

DrPhilG

What with Conor being on this card, the recent scuffles at the presser and the general epicness of this card, there are posts about it all over the place so I thought I'd go ahead and start the specific thread a bit earlier than usual.

Light Heavyweight - Jon Jones (c) vs Daniel Cormier

Bantamweight - Dominick Cruz vs Takeya Mizugaki

Middleweight - Tim Kennedy vs Yoel Romero

Women's Bantamweight - Cat Zingano vs. Amanda Nunes

Featherweight - Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor

Welterweight - John Howard vs Brian Ebersole

Welterweight - Patrick Côté vs Stephen Thompson

Lightweight - Jon Tuck vs Kevin Lee

Lightweight - Bobby Green vs Jorge Masvidal

Bantamweight - Manvel Gamburyan vs Cody Gibson

Lots of speculation that McGregor vs Poirier may be the co-main event although I don't think it's confirmed, although given that they were the ones getting the press conference the other day along with Jones and Cormier I wouldn't be surprised.

As much as I like watching Conor fight, I reckon he'll be saying that for every fight until he gets egg on his face.

I'd say you'd be so far in front from betting on his predictions you wont mind if he comes unstuck at some stage and leaves it till the 2nd to knock someone out

He toyed with porier there his kick will take the head of someone very soon

what like Muhammad ali?

There's always a little tiny bit of doubt you feel when the fight is about to start. What if this happens? What if that happens?

Then he just comes out and lives up to it all and you're just like 'OK then'

That was too easy, at least the women's fight was worth staying up for.

Illegal shots tbf. Probably would have still won.

That'll be the new line from the haters. Bullsheeeeet!

Poirier was hurt and ducked his head, that's how the shot ended up hitting him in the back of the head.

If you have any feeling that wasnt a legit stoppage do me and yourself a favour and do what the clowns that thought brandao took a dive aswell,and never watch the sport again please.

the amount of talking mcgregor done in the ring he continued in poirier's head even during the fight was unreal. He looked as he had just walked straight in after a few games on the tables he was so relaxed.

yipeeeee

He got caught with a few again, hope he works on that part now he is getting closer

Ultimately, he has a huge battle on the feet. And he'll need some solid defense to get out if trouble. His head down cover up approach (verses Cub) won't cut it.

Bingo. Head down and covers up. Clipped behind the ear. Goodnight.

I think the real hit was the clean punch he got in a few seconds before. Anyone else using headphones so as not to wake people up would have heard it very loud and clear.

Have to be honest here i was not fond of him last year ,seen him as the bernard dunne of UFC,BUT he has done us proud,proved many wrong,i didn't doubt him though and hats off to him. He has proved himself a worthy fighter and will not go down without a fight..Nor will he quit of he looses one...
