Oh man, this was a tough one to decide. But since Conor McGregor has been laying low and, I'm assuming, training and not acting like his "notorious" mischievous self, then I'm taking McGregor @ +105 winning another trilogy saga against Dustin Poirier.

The main card is loaded with "notorious" fighters (O'Malley and Hardy), and since it's a trilogy saga main event, let's make it a tripleheader picks:

Conor McGregor (+105) over Dustin Poirier

Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson (-165) over Gilbert Burns

Tai Tuisava (-140) over Greg "Wife Beater" Hardy (he reached his peaked)

I'll be in North Beach this weekend getting ready for an Italian party on Sunday!

Best of luck!

Should be good I’m taking Mac

[Mackballs]

Ask yourself this before betting on Conor - what happened 6 months ago and why do you think the result would be different? What evidence do you have that the outcome will change? We have the ultimate card in betting this fight as we all witnessed it 180 days ago. If you are betting Conor you are betting on nothing but guesses and assumptions that he has done everything he says he's done in the past 6 months to make himself better. He is a master marketer and gets people to believe the hype and believe in things that they wouldn't necessarily believe in unless the marketing was tremendously persuasive. Many people who believe in Conor at this point believe in the legend that is Conor. That fighter from 4-6 years ago with those highlights knockouts and incredible performances. The truth is he has done almost nothing of note in almost 4 years in combat sports except lose. He is a Forbes list 32 (almost 33) year old now, no longer a hungry lion 27 year old. He can say he has his hammer and hard hat and has gone to work the last 6 months and people will buy it because they want to believe so badly that it's true. And maybe it is. But there is no way possible anyone can cap this fight in favor of Conor. At the very worst it's 60-40 in favor of Dustin. We have plenty of information to go on to cap this fight that way. People will say Dustin took some hard shots and almost got finished in the second fight...go watch it again and watch it closely. He was never in a any real trouble at any point. He realized after the first round that Conor couldn't hurt him that night. He realized he held the upper hand everywhere. He got over the hump and the mystique of conor had disappeared and he knew he could put this guy away and did just that. What will be different this time? Check some leg kicks? Maybe. Dustin can win this fight so many ways and Conor can only win 1 way and that 1 way has to happen in the first 8 minutes or so. We all know that. Dustin knows that. Conor sounds like a man trying to convince himself he's still got it. He doesn't sound confident, he sounds like a caricature of his old self. It's uncomfortable to watch. It's not that Conor cant win, he obviously can as it's basically a pickem. But based on everything we know at this time, this fight being a pickem allows us a tremendous opportunity to make a great value bet on Dustin if you can cap him at 60%. And there's absolutely no reason you don't cap this fight that way..

Conor 1 win in 5 years guy is all talk and not what he once was.

In my mind, his only path to victory is a round 1 or 2 KO/TKO.

I'm think Poirier subs him in the middle rounds after he weathers the storm and Conor gasses.

Well said and completely agree.

Not watching UFC today when there is Brazil-Argentina. It's a blasphemy.

I've got very similar thoughts on this one. Best of luck to us JP!

[carolinakid]

in the 1st fight at 605 eastern with Hu, most all the outs have the over at 1.5 over 50.Heritage has it under 2.5-55, when they have been doing this this yr., it goes over the 1.5, but goes under the 2.5.also when Heritage does that as we get close to the fight they have been moving this back to the market price.......just something i thought i would put out here.gl tonite guys

Yeah, I'm just going w/ McGregor on what he used to do and not anything recently or as JP noted w/in 5 yrs. I'm just going with his marketing hype that he's bringing it to Poirier with everything he got. I got sold with his interview with Stephen A. Smith and might've bought a lemon.

He hasn’t fought that much in the last 5 years, and nearly all of his fights have been against elite top level fighters better than Poirier.

[Hugo de Naranja]

What? Khabib is better than Poirier. 2020 Cerrone, Alvarez, and Diaz are not even close man.

[jjgold]

Mac should win real easy

He is ready this time

[Unrivaled]

Yeah I'm taking Poirier if Morino takes Conor. Not even going to think twice about it.
