Happening this Saturday.

Can't say I recognise many names, though I might tune in for Poirier/McGregor 2.

Intrigued to see what Chandler brings to the division.

Watched Poirier/McGregor this morning.

McGregor looked good in round 1, but early in round 2 you could see Poirier's calf/lowkicks started to affect Conor and he started to look less sharp and the tables were turning.

When Poirier got away from the fence and trapped McGregor that was quite literally the turnaround. Not long after Porier was able to tag McGregor and finish it.

Great performance by Poirier, but not quite the comeback McGregor and I'm sure Dana were hoping for. Though I do somewhat agree with McGregor's post fight assessment that he simply needs to be more active.

At 32 he still has some prime years left, though at the moment that rematch with Khabib looks more and more like a fantasy.

As for Poirier, what's next? A fight against Gaethje for the vacant title I guess.
