I thought Connor dominated the first round but he got shook bad pretty quickly and that's a first for Connor. Thought the ref stopped it a little too early as well even though ultimately Connor was likely done. Herb made a bad mistake in the earlier fight getting too close to the fighters and touching them so they thought the fight was over.

Another surprise Conor McGregor is knocked out by Dustin Poirier Cheesy

. Now Dana White will be angry that the Khabib rematch will never happen.

Now Khabib can face Michael Chandler as McGregor rematch is out of the picture.

I doubt Khabib will come back unless he feels he's a worthy competitor and certainly not for Michael Chandler. I don't think Connor/Khabib is off the table either but he'll need to get a couple of good wins under his belt first. I could see a Poirier rematch or the Diaz trilogy next. Hopefully he doesn't take the rest of the year off as he needs to stay active. I think Poirier trilogy fight would be his next best option as I'm not sure if he's beat him again.

It's the biggest surprise of this event, this is a big turn around for McGregor, the Pacquiao fight might not push through now, he is the heavy favorite here but Poirier wants to make the fight even, we might see a trilogy on this one and we will see Khabib mocking McGregor after this loss, I guess Mcgregor invincibility in the ring is gone, great performance for Poirier this one is much better than the Khabibi Mcgregor fight.

McGregor was out for so long that it seems he lost his touch with the sport. At least in this game.

The Pacquiao fight just got a $XX.XXX.XXX devaluation! Which is good and can lead to more normal PPV prices.

Agreed, it appears some power in Conor’s punches are not there. Is it the whiskey hehehe. I reckon the Pacman fight might also not be in any chance of being organized after the loss. There is no more hype.

Connor lost to Diaz and still got Mayweather. Connor's stock is still one of the highest in the fighting world so I doubt it would effect the fight and it would still be one of the best options for Manny right now. Ball is probably in Manny's court right now regarding the fight.

It is the most humbling loss in the career of Conor McGregor, he can fully concentrate on his whiskey business as he got knocked out and how can he call out a boxer when he just got knocked out in MMA.

A really great card and great fights, Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier just smoked their opponents and i was disappointed with the performance of Amanda Ribas.

I agree, his straight left's power is no longer there, Lol, or is it just Poirier chin has hold up against those power punches. And with the loss, Conor's dream of the biggest pay check against Pacquiao is over. I dunno if Pacquiao camp's are willing after this devastating loss of Conor.

Who would want to watch a fighter who has lost against Manny Pacquaio? No hype whatsoever now.

What shocking a day!

Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor: What you do expect? Anything can happen in the octagon, another come back again or career's over.

Manny Pacquaio vs Conor McGregor, that's it debate is over!

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor, sad to say the rematch it will never be happened, check Khabib's tweet: https://twitter.com/TeamKhabib/status/1353235459388940289 and I think he will not return on UFC anymore.

Michael Chandler vs Dan Hooker: That's the performance what I'm expecting from Chandler and welcome to the UFC!!! I hope his next opponent will be Tony Ferguson, that would be a battle of greatness on their division.

I truly feel the Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor fight was staged for a re-match, it being 1 -1 now... Roll Eyes

Conor are saying his loss was due to him being less active in the octogon... but he was not in it from the start. Yea, Dustin made sure he grappled as long as he could to avoid the 60 second knockout that Conor predicted and after that it was just down hill.

I lost some money, so I am most probably just butt hurt.... but I just did not get a right feeling with this match. Huh

I definitely didn't expect to see McGregor lose at boxing Poirier. I think we might see a part 3 for the belt if Khabib doesn't come out of retirement, but if McGregor loses that as well then I think he'd be lucky to get the Logan Paul fight, let alone Pacquiao. McGregor had a hell of a few fights when at his peak. Him and Rousey were must watches. Those days are behind us though. The search for a new people's champion is on.

Surprise surprise Michael Chandler knocked out Daniel Hooker and made a grand entry in the UFC and his post fight Octagon interview was priceless. I did not expect the fight to get over this fast and the first combination Michael Chandler landed Hooker was down and then it was a matter of time to finish him and hopefully we will see him against Khabib.

Now the main event and i am expecting a great battle for the fans.

It will be a great fight, it will be a stand up fight for most part and Conor McGregor have a pretty good take down defense and Dustin Poirier also prefers to stand up until the fight goes to the ground and he has some great submission skills. I placed a bet on the two underdogs, i picked Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier in parlay and lets see how that will go. Just two more fights to go and it will be a test for Michael Chandler to prove his worth and i am expecting a wrestling based fight plan to counter Hooker.

I've seen information that Conor will make about 50 million dollars for this fight

Ive seen different numbers. $5 millions + percentage of ppv for Conor and $1 for Dustin.

Checked my old bookie account and found out I have few cents there. Then though I think Conor will most likely win, Ive placed my 10,37 EUR bet on Dustin. 34 EUR looks much sweeter than 13 Grin

not a big disappointment if I lose.

But still I think it'll be interesting to watch. I've seen information that Conor will make about 50 million dollars for this fight

He is the man when it comes to making money in this game no doubt. I also think he will win this one, but don't think it will be as easy as you seem to expect, but as you say I'm pretty excited to see how will Conor look in this one.

I've gone for a cheeky bet on Mcgregor to get a TKO inside the 4th or 5th round. No matter what happens, I only hope that its an actual fight, and doesn't end like it did last time. I want to see a few rounds of these boys going at each other, to get a good idea on the skill set difference.

Your wish will be fulfilled as it is not that easy to finish Dustin Poirier in the early rounds once he transitioned to the current division and historically Conor McGregor never had a knockout victory after the third round, either it goes to the decision or he looses.

My prediction for this card.
Sara McMann, Michael Chandler, Makhmud Muradov, Amir Albazi, Joanne Calderwood and Amanda Ribas.

Nothing stood out to me in the weigh ins, except both fighters are looking ready. Honestly, if I were to bet on it this fight probably does end via a TKO. Just because of the energy coming into this fight, Conor has a lot to prove after some justified criticism, and Poirier will be looking to make up for last time against Conor. Conor doesn't usually play a slow fight, and Poirier with something to prove sticks out to me as a potential open fight, which will lead to one of the boys getting knocked out.

I'm still sticking with chandler against Hooker, but I'll change to a decision rather than a TKO. I'm also changing to a Conor TKO, just because of the mentioned energy coming into the fight from both sides.

If Poirier would not last up to 6 rounds then Conor McGregor can win this, And if Conor McGregor can not takedown Poirier immediately this may end up in a decision, I should say Dustin Poirier is one tough fighter to crack, But I guess the training of McGregor has paid off against Donald Cerrone,

But I would like to see Conor fight Khabib again but I don't think that may happen if Khabib Nurmagomedov would have an offer for a rematch for a ton of something, but still, it is on 1% possible.

Ottman Azaitar was also removed by Dana from the UFC for violating safety protocols. It appears that he does not care for this sport or his career in MMA.

To surpass the security and allow people outside the bubble that could risk the entire people coming into this fight is a serious situation, i cannot understand why Ottman Azaitar and his team wanted to do these kind of things silly activities during a pandemic situation which will nullify all the hard work they have done to keep everyone secure.

But once Poirier can take the fight to later rounds, then as history shows that McGregor has lost when the fight has reached the later rounds and I think Poirer's toughness ability has the power to do so.

Dustin Poirier is durable in the 155 pound division and i am expecting the fight to go to the later rounds and it all depends upon the conditioning of Conor McGregor as well.

This is first Michael Chandler fight in UFC after coming from Bellator and I like him against Hooker but not sure how he is going to handle transition and first fight presure.

Michael Chandler is training hard for a long time and it is going to be a great fight and Hooker is a good striker and has the height advantage.
