    Looks like a donedeal - John Kavanagh posted on Twitter "It's on"

    A win for Mcgregor here and he will be fighting for the lightweight belt next - if he loses it will be probably be the trilogy fight with Diaz or the boxing route.

    A win and he could be champion

    Hopefully that's it confirmed then.

    Conor looks in good nick judging by his insta photos. He was looking a little weathered earlier on in the year I thought but just looks fresh again to me.

    Interesting fight. Dustin has improved and I'm not sure Conor is the same fighter he was but I still expect him to get Dustin out of there inside 2 rounds.

    Agreed, I think he takes care of Dustin. Also looks like he will be directly donating to Dustin's charity. Can't imagine much of the old trash talk stuff if that is the case. Build it may be similar to cerrone

    How do you trash talk Poirier though? He can talk about his fighting ability maybe, but outside of fighting Poirier is basically a saint.

    That didn't stop him from thrash talking before the first fight.

    That was all about his fighting ability, and his pea head, wasn't it? I can't really remember.

    Conor tends to go past the fighting side and get very personal. I don't see how he does that with Poirier. He can't really question poirier's character given his own "indiscretions".

    I think overall fighting ability was what he usually went for. Too old, too slow, too stiff etc. Then the nonsense jokes to wind them up, peahead, steroid headed midget, etc. I think it was only Khabib that got into the personal stuff due to the history.

    Be interest to see how McGregor Porrier II is impact by the first fight. Both the build up and the actual fight

    I really like DP, just one of those fighters that wears his heart on his sleeve and seems an all round good guy.

    I'm hoping for a build up similar to the Cerrone fight, I detest fighters talking about their earnings its part of the reason I can't stomach Mayweather, flaunting their wealth while theor biggest fans are forking out silly money for PPV and sub services.

    Anyway, I see Dana is still playing this one down, hard to know what the angle is here

    Why? I can see any issue with saying you like a fighter. And Poirier is a nice guy who most people wish good things for.

    Calling a German a nazi is quite personal.

    Don’t google DP, especially on a work computer.

    Innocence? Forgive me for assuming that DP on a mixed martial.arts forum in a thread about Conor McGregor whose next opponent is Dustin Poirier was about said Dustin Poirier. :D

    Dana waiting to see if Conor winning brings Khabib out of retirement it seems. If it doesn't he will have to be stripped in February.

    McGregor makes short work of Dustin and then he fights Khabib for the belt/30-0.

    Very excited to see the rematch. Dustin has come on some way since they first met.

    Same here, there's no bad result either. Dustin is a good guy and come a long way, Conor at his peak is as entertaining in the ring as they get, win-win all round.
