Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier Preview
Conor McGregor opens this fight as the commanding $1.36 favourite, with Poirier the rank $3.10 outsider.
McGregor enters this bout with an impressive 22-4 record. Within that, he has 19 knockouts compared to just 2 decisions and 1 submission.
He hasn’t been as active recently, fighting just twice since 2016, losing to Khabib before knocking out Cerrone in his last fight. Given his track record, he’ll definitely be looking for a quick finish here.
Poirier also enters this bout with a strong career record of 26-6-1. A very well-rounded fighter, he has managed 12 knockouts, 7 submissions, and 7 decisions so far.
He has been in some impressive recent form, losing just one of his last 8 fights, to Khabib no less. Recent wins over Pettis, Gaethje, Holloway, and Hooker would suggest he’s up to the challenge.
This is likely to be a fast fight here and I see value in McGregor winning in rounds 1-3 at $1.82. His fights have overwhelmingly ended in knockout victories and every single one of them has occurred in the first 3 rounds.
Poirier generally has a strong chin, but he has been finished by McGregor before, a first round KO in UFC 178. If Poirier can’t get him to the ground early, Conor’s power is likely to prove too much here.
