I think we're saying the same thing just a little differently. I expect Khabib to take him down and devastate him with GNP - however, Porier has the power to end the fight early. 

I think that's a fair assessment. If there was a blueprint to beating Khabib, I'd say Poirier isn't far off. Power, the length to be able to hurt Khabib from distance, and good enough in grappling transitions to not get taken down and control instantly. Conor actually fits a lot of that mold as well, but I think he messed up strategically in their fight.

No one's going to beat Khabib on the ground, and guys who like to fight inside are going to have a bad time against him as well. The only exception might be Tony, who is crazy enough to be able to win the fight from anywhere.

Not to say that Poirier is going to win, but there's certainly a path to victory.

I have a feeling going forward that it's going to be crazy thinking about how Calvin Kattar and Shane Burgos fought each other so early in their UFC careers. They are the two most underrated prospects in the Featherweight division right now, both just beat high-level gatekeepers convincingly. Wouldn't be surprised if Kattar and Burgos fight again eventually.

Munhoz is getting lit up and just eating everything. Crazy chin 

Super fun fight.

Who doesn't love watching Munhoz fight. Dude just forces you to brawl with him, because he keeps walking forward and taking everything you throw.

We need to see him vs Lineker in the worst way.
