Just what I thought on what may happen to the Khabib Nurmagomedov Vs Dustin Poirier fight, Poirier doesn't stand a chance against how good Khabib in a submission match even though Dustin has experience with wrestling, Because Khabib is on top with his prime in when it comes to Takedowns by a submission.
Well, I never expected Liana Jojua to lose that way but I guess there might be something that happens or she doesn't quite feel well, but it is still a great fight and me never thought that Sarah Moras can make a victory over Liana Jojua, but still she is quite splendid and gorgeous in my opinion.
Almost forgot... Always watch what Dana White has to say after every PPV event.

Diaz vs Masvidal is official for 244 (at MSG). The event is looking really stacked now with Johnny Walker vs Corey Anderson and Gastelum vs Till for a MW scrap.

So really the only main disadvantage of Poirier over Mcgregor is the striking power and skill, however, I don't think Mcgregor was in his best shape at all when he fought Khabib, I'm sure the fight will be a bit closer but Khabib is winning anyhow.
I am hearing all these lame excuses about Conor McGregor not in his best shape when he fought Khabib, no one forced Conor McGregor to fight Khabib as he had more money in his bank account and with is business flourishing there is no point in returning if you are not prepared to take on an undefeated wrestler and he did not back up his big words before the fight and was completely humiliated and now his fans cannot accept the defeat which is cringe worthy 
.The main difference is Dustin Poirier learns with every fight and adjust according to his opponent but Conor just have the same style since i started watching him fight and not much improvement either.
Well, the fight ended and Poirier lost by round 3, Mcgregor survived until mid round 4, as I said, Poirier is simply not a good enough striker to beat Khabib and his takedown defense isn't too good either. At least Mcgregor stopped a few takedowns, Poirier was thrown around like a rag doll.
I don't know who's next on Khabib, he is way above the competition now. I'm sure he will look for money fights now, Conor? Floyd?
Going up to next division to get next belt. Dont think that will be hard, as Khabin needs to cut a lot of weight before each fight.
Juggy777, Ive told you to bet on Khabins victory vis rear naked choke. Hope you’ve done it.
Or it would be Tony first and then Khabib going up to the next division. We have been waiting for Tony vs Khabib for a while so it's about time to see them fight and Khabib cleaning the division. Conor vs Khabib is just for the paycheck though.
I also like the rematch with Conor but it will be a huge disrespect if they bypass Tony Ferguson for Khabib's next fight. They are supposed to fight a long time ago but for some reason, something just comes up. These two are meant to fight each other and I do hope UFC makes it happen.
It would be a nice fight but Tony has no chance against khabib either. Tony won't have an answer for Khabibs takedowns, look at his fight vs kevin lee, that guy took him down easily several times, sure he eventually won via triangle choke but still.
^ Nice... But did you bet on it tho? I mean that's the problem. No BTC sports betting site is laying prop lines for us to put action on. 'Khabib wins by submission' was at 3.10 and 'Khabib inside the distance' was at 2.10. Would've been better to bet on those instead of straight up 'Khabib to win' at 1.20.

I agree aside from the part of having a string chin. Actually, that would be the only advantage of Porier in their fight. If he able to maintain his distance to Khabib all 5 rounds then he might win because striking is his forte and thus having a chance to knocked him out but on the other hand, once he got take down by Khabib then it is all over. For sure he will suffer from exhaustion like what happen to Conor . . Conor must fight someone else first or even have 2 fight, before he rematches Khabin. He is inactive for a year and get a belt fight with Khabib - looks unreal and disrespectful to other fighters.
Conor is becoming a joke, he is not even in title contention and never had a fight after a humiliating defeat and he wants to fight for the title when the division is stacked by fighters who really deserve a title shot, there is no way Conor is able to defeat Khabib no matter how much they rematch, it will be easy money for Khabib, the only fight i want to see is Tony Ferguson.

Complete dominance from Khabib and he submitted Dustin Poirier, what a fight, i am watching it in the arena and it is unbelievable, you got to watch it live to feel the presence. I am stoppipng this here and will update when i get home.
Damn, I envy you man, just look at UFC's official twitter account, "Videos are is not available in your location".

Conor McGregor calls for Khabib Nurmagomedov rematch in Russia
Quote
Conor McGregor wasn’t present in Abu Dhabi for UFC 242 but obviously he was paying attention.
Not long after Khabib Nurmagomedov defended his lightweight title against Dustin Poirier in the main event, McGregor decided to inject himself in the conversation about who will face the undefeated Russian next.
The door was opened by UFC president Dana White after he was asked about McGregor receiving a rematch with Nurmagomedov after their first fight was the biggest pay-per-view in company history.
That will be huge and that is where the money is. But I'm not sure if Russia should be the venue though. To generate huge PPV numbers, the fight should be in the US.

EDiT:
.
Tony will be his next opponent, Khabib will not go after money fight and he completely turned down any possible rematch against Conor until he comes back and prove he is a worthy title contender. Justin Gaethje will be on the line after that and it depends upon his match against Donald Cerrone.

The big one tonight, I really hope Khabib gets knocked out but realistically it’s not going to happen is it. He’s going to bore his way to a victory like he always does 
Dustin Poirier is a really great fighter but he never faced anyone who had a good wrestling base and that will be the issue here, all of Dustin Poirier's prior opponents are strikers and he defeated everyone but Khabib is a different animal and with his dad in his corner he will stick to his basics and will go for take downs rather than strike with him, Poirier is known for his six punch combination and that does not work against a wrestler and that too against a wrestler of Khabib's caliber. Nice analysis. Dustin is a stand up fighter and most of his fights are good because it was a total brawl and that's why he squeak some win. But we all know that Khabib's grappling and wrestling is well documented. And I'm sure that once Dustin feel the grind against Khabib he will be shock and can't cope up with it.
Khabib can fight standing up, but his strengths is wrestling and I do hope that Dustin has answers once Khabib suffocated him and won't give him any chance on the ground. Probably good for the first minute of the first round and after that it will all be Khabib.

Around a couple more hours to go before the event! I feel like the main event is not being given the attention it deserves. Poirier is a live dog here imho.
Anyway thinking about putting some action on Barboza with the slightly better odds at 1.72...
