I thought I was alone. Yes, boxing is more fun to watch than MMA any day of the week.

I agree,who want to watch two men roll around on a mat for 45 minutes?

Matt Frevola is currently fighting in a lightweight bout.

Is he trying to steal Conor's look?

Did Matt Frevola get "5 minus 3" wrong when his corner man asked him? I'm pretty sure he said 3.

Even Conor himself copied his looks.

No, McGregor wins this easy.
K.O. first or second round.

On what basis do you see McGregor beating Poirier faster than Khabib beating Poirier? Is that because of Poirier's hip surgery last year? Or maybe you think it's a stylistic match-up? Maybe 2014 is in your head. If I had to guess, the Cowboy fight is in your head. Cowboy was washed up. The UFC fed McGregor a tomato can [in the form of an aged fighter] because he is a cash cow.

Your prediction may come true, but I'm just curious why you think that. Because what you are saying is McGregor is better than Khabib, and that's not true.

Anyone betting money on UFC fights should use some form of objective reasoning to do so.

You can not compare different fighters in different fights.
Reason why he lost against Kabit is because he has no ground-game. (like oldtimer1 said)

But this is not the case in this matchup. He is by far the better boxer.
The rest is even. So he wins. Poirier has power but is slower.

Khabib is a master ground guy. He's on another level. Just might be the pound for pound best. I don't care how good of a striker you are. Khabib can easily get you down and then you are done. He toyed with McGregor whose ground game is really bad. What McGregor has going for him is that he is good at avoiding take downs but not against a true world class wrestler.

Don't believe that garbage. A guy who defends his belt three times and fights only in one weight class can never be considered p4p best. Ever heard of GSP?

"Good stoppage" in the Marina Hodriguez fight according to Daniel Cormier.

wut

I can't stand McGregor but I see him quickly stopping Poirier with punches or kicks. He's just on another level.

You were saying?

That was quick.😂

McGregor's done, laying on the floor like a battered wife. You can see he doesn't have the hunger anymore, you can see it in his eyes.

wtf

You had no rational basis for your views. You had them because you thought they were popular. You jumped on an emotional hype train, and look what happened?

That's why I don't do that.

I had Conor by TKO in round 4-5, or Conor by decision. Poirier shocked me tonight.

He`d rather punch the heads of old guys in bars.

That's the type of thing I consider.

That's why I have beaten the UFC odd-makers/books for 14 years now.

People need to consider miles/wear, and how money changes an athlete.

Not sure why he gave Khabib a tough time. Maybe he will come back for another with Dustin.
