McGregor vs Poirier

[TPowell]

McGregor's last 2 fights (also his biggest) happened on short notice for his opponent. A little over a months notice was all Brandao had. Too lazy to look at Holloway's notice time but it was short notice for sure. I'm a little curious if this kid has just had some luck on his side. He has a TON of finishes in Ireland but he also had 2 sub. losses which is troublesome for a guy facing Poirier. At around +250, I think Dustin may be the play at +250. I worry about him getting into a fire fight with a guy like Conor, but Dustin isn't an amateur on his feet either. Any opinions on this? I really think this fight comes down to bjj vs striking

Conor will announce himself a contender this Saturday night.

Conor's sub losses were 4 & 6 years ago. He's a much better fighter now. Poirier is very good but this fight will be decided on the feet imo. This will be Conor's toughest test for sure.

Poirier started off as the fav and so much $ poured in on Conor he became the fav and Dustin the dog. Dustin should be the fav on paper but the odds don't always reflect who's better. It reflects who's being bet on.

Conor opened more than -220.

I got Conor at -170, and I know that's not the lowest it has been...

[Vaughany]

I'm a big Poirier fan but can admit that most of Poirier's sub wins were handed to him on a plate. Brookins even admitted that he was looking for a way out of the fight and just gave it to him. Holloway was short notice and at white-belt level at the time...had no idea what to do on the ground. Garza's sub-defense is almost non-existant....dude got guillotined by Zhang Tiequan and tooled by Brandao on the ground as well. Soon as Poirier faced a legit grappler in Swanson he got schooled...Cub even started showing off and having banter with the camera man in third round cos he was controlling Poirier so easily

[Sacrelicious]

Conor opened more than -220.

He opened around +190, you silly penisbutt.

[Vaughany]

Not wearing your seatbelt Conor?!

Poirer took the fight notice though to play devils advocate.

[Vaughany]

He did...although 4 weeks notice isnt really short notice nowadays when you consider how many guys pull out 1-2 weeks before a fight now and get replaced! but yeah, could argue that it was his lack of cardio (due to taking fight on short notice) that led to him getting schooled on ground

I agree. Dustin Poirer has beaten a whos who of bums. His best win is a green max hollaway who took the fight on short notice.

His claim to fame is beating and exposing josh grispi.

[Beelzebubzy]

For the record, I lost a decent chunk of change on Erik Koch when he fought dustin.

DusCAN Poirer

[TPowell]

great insight. Basically if Conor is a CONTENDER, this line may be right/a little too low. Still not sure if I could play Conor over 250

[marzwoody]

Dustin got rocked by Brookins and Akira. what do you think Conor would do if he connects? although Conor's chin is unproven Dustin could land and take him out. Fight could go either way but most likely Conor wins. but i hope for the upset.

[Vaughany]

Everybody should be hoping for the upset! The reaction would be insane after all the hype

plus if Mcgregor fails, he will get teh Erick Silva treatment aka they will feed him to a bum.

McGregor vs Ogle would be on hte New Years Card.

Now I know why you don't believe that I'm Irish. I'm clearly not a big enough retard.

[Kermit]

Conor opened more than -220.

Conor actualy did open as the dog, but quickly got pounded into the fav.

[Sykes]

This is what I see. I never seen him at + odds anywhere.

[Sykes]

I see my bad. Ill admit to being a retard today!

[Sykes]

Looking at it again, DSI/Bookmaker made a big *up with that one, they were way off the others.

[Napes21]

Gabe is on Conor

[bjpenn85]

Gabe is probably correct on mcregor and cruz. To massive talents that likely go through. But i would have preferred to have him bet on someone else. Gabe side = dark side

[Vaughany]

I will bet my left testicle tht Gamburyan will be Gaberz maxi bet

[mirinquads]

Gabe is on Conor

Gabe was also on Pacheco. He ruined my life. If you have a Conor bet rip that shit up right now. What really killed me was MMAOB releasing pacheco as a premium play. If that happens with Conor aw fawk bye.

[Vaughany]

Lol and what if Sac and Bigday are also on conor?
