It’s time for another Conor card. The main card is pretty weak as expected.

The only thing remotely saving the main card is the comain. Wonderboy/ Burns is a hell of a fight.

I don’t see the main going any different then it did 6 months ago. Happy Dustin is getting another big payday though.

The under card has a couple of decent things happening for it. Ryan Hall is actually going to fight. What is pretty big news for bjj people’s. I am a big Carlos Condit fan, so hyped for that. Niko and Pereira could end up being bonkers for an unimaginable amount of reasons. Because it’s Niko and Pereira .

      Could happen. I am thinking Dustin grapples really early this time around. He has brought it up a few times leading into the fight and it just makes sense. Dustin is the better grappler, has a better gas tank and is stronger then Conor. If Dustin can get him down or wear on him a lot in the first round Conor is in all kinds of trouble. Its not exatally poirers style. but he is more then able to stick to game plans and I expect Mike Brown has drilled the idea of early takedowns into his head for the past 6 months.

      Orrrr Dustin just kicks Conors leg off again.

      My real fear is that, with all the talk of RDA being the back up and us potentially getting the Conor/Dos Anjos fight we all wanted, we'll have jinxed the event and Conor will pull out leaving us with just RDA v Poirier. Which is fine, I guess

          idk part of me wonders if RDA still has it in him. Since losing the belt he's gone 5-5. Sure the loses have been against smothering wrestlers and that's not Poirier, but idk man. Would love to see RDA come out like he used to when he had the 55 strap

            Usman, Colby, Chiesa, Leon ... I don't think you could find 4 worst match ups no matter the weight class to match against RDA.

            RDA is definitly not prime RDA anymore but the man can still go. His last fight Felder was great.

              This sketch but it's about RDA taking fights against much larger, stronger wrestlers. I don't know who that man's agent is but he should be fired. Don't know why RDA went to 170 really, it's the wrestler's division. Great scrap with Lawler tho
