Porier's only chance is to take him down and hope Conor has been lazy and not training takedown defense. Conor will mop Dustin on the feet. Dustin's only other avenue of winning would be Conor gassing in the 4th/5th Rounds and TKOing him, but that depends if this is a Main Event fight or not. again, just so ignorant. highlighted by your last question if this will be a main event.. like huh? seriously? Maybe Conor wins, but poirier certainly wont be outclassed. and youre using a fight 6 years ago in a different weight class as any kind of meaning is hilarious. Its pretty easy to see a path to victory for poirier, and it has little to do with takedowns. I question if youve even see Dustin fight in the last 3 years.

Conor will win and yes Porier will be outclassed. You’re obviously a fan of the guy since he’s from the South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Ya'll musta forgot about Ortega. Loses one fight, a war against Holloway, and everyone acts like he's trash. smh. Hell of a performance to dominate the Zombie like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Zombie said he can't even remember the last three rounds, after he got dropped by the elbow. I can see that. Pretty crazy he got dropped by almost exactly the same shot that Yair got him with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Andrade-Chookoogogan finish was kinda weird. Interested to know what exactly happened there. Katlyn reacted like something broke, but the strike wasn't in any area that would break anything. Well below the ribs. Didn't look like it was on the liver either. I never seen anyone react that way after being punched in the middle of the abs like that. Did she punch her in the ovaries? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Conor had been training and staying in shape, with a regular fight schedule, I'd say Dustin literally has no chance. But his only hope is Conor is not in shape, rusty, and not taking this seriously. As pure Mixed Martial Artists, Conor blows Dustin out of the water. This can't be a serious take. If the fight goes to the ground, Dustin would destroy Conor, so how is he the better pure Mixed Martial Artist? Better boxer? Maybe. They both have crazy power and Conor is much better defensively, but better at MMA as a whole? C'mon man... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor has special power but if he cant finish him, i think the most likely outcome is Dustin just puts a pace on him that he cant keep up with, and that could play out totally on the feet. People sleep on conors td defense, its pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing per say but his takedown defense before the Khabib fight was definitely above average. Dustin's best chance is to take him down but he seems to only use his BJJ defensively. If Dustin doesn't take him down, picking him other than hoping for a good return on a bet or gamble is ill advised. He could have destroyed Holloway on the ground but never tried. There are a lot of fighters that could be extremely dangerous on the ground but it's not as big of a part of their game as maybe it should be. People like Cerrone, Diaz, Poirier, Ortega before last night would've wrecked Holloway on the ground, I can go on.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I kind of compare Conor/Poirier to Gaethje/Ferguson. Poirier gets hit alot just like Tony but they usually survive and keep coming but Conor/Gaethje offer those bombs that dont allow for recovery or just jack you up ALOT. I expect Conor to finish Dustin too but ive been wrong 10x more than right so maybe Dustin by flying knee in 10 seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSUeagles14 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 People just really dont know how good Poiriers boxing is, i dont get it cause its been on display for years now. Conor should be a slight favorite, maybe -160 but this is far from an easy fight. he has special power, but dustin has held up to everything the last few years. My guess is conor catched him early or dustin just drowns him late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the feet: Conor > Dustin On the mat: Dustin >>> Conor Before someone takes that out of context, that's not saying Conor is horrible on the ground. He's probably average, but Dustin is very, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
