After more than half a decade, the two will meet again. Since they first met on September 27, 2014, both have made a good deal of winning achievements, suffering only a couple of losses, each in the hands of Nurmagomedov.

While their first match was a McGregor show, the second might be a different one. This is gonna be Conor's first UFC match after a year while Poirier just had a UD win over Hooker in June of 2020.

The odds:

Sportsbet: Poirier, Dustin 2.85 -- McGregor, Conor 1.37
Cloudbet: Poirier, Dustin 2.97 -- McGregor, Conor 1.40
Nitrogen Sports: Poirier, Dustin +197 -- McGregor, Conor -263

After everything that happened with McGregor’s career it seems that he wants to reclaim back his outlook towards him considering the previous matches that he had. With this match I think Poirier Would be a great risk great return reward In terms of betting with him.

I’m just not sure how McGregor would handle this fight knowing that he hasn’t been able to fight recently. So I’m probably going for the high risk high return. Poirier.

This is one good match  but Looks like the Odds differ my views, i may not take Odds this time lol.

Poirier's Record are indeed great , But Connor is also i Giant in octagon .

6 years after is Good aspect of this fight to gain bettors and viewers,

I looked up their fight records
Conor McGregor's last bout was Jan. 18, 2020. It's a TKO win against Donald Cerrone.
Dustin's last fight was a unanimous decision win on June 27,2020.
I don't think the six months difference would be that big of a factor.
What's interesting to see is that these two both lost to the same man [Khabib] prior to their last fights.

McGregor is the big favorite according to the odds. After losing to Khabib he's taken a long time off from MMA and has only had one fight against a relatively easy opponent. Poirier will be his first significant challenge in a few years. If he wins this fight it will show that he is still one of the top lightweights and would get a chance to become champion once Khabib officially vacates the title.

I think McGregor can still pull the trigger here, but I'm happy seeing Poirier getting a shot at Conor because if I'm not mistaken, he is eager to find him again after suffering a lost way back, so now is the chance for Dustin and break McGregor.

However, I still do believed that McGregor's left is going to make the difference in this fight. If he can land it against Dustin then it will be over.

I do agree with that. It's better to check their current abilities with the same fighter that had them beat. It's sad that they are not going to be able to fight him anymore. Let's just see how their fight is going to be.

I thought he gonna fight Manny Pacquiao in an exhibition match in Dubai?  Anyway, let's not talk about it now since those two need to fight again to prove once more who should be the best fighter at their weight division. Both are defeated by Khabeeb though but those two are some of the best fighters in the UFC right now.

It would be a great fight between two great fighters, both have lost with the same person(Khabib), I wonder if there would be another fight for that person who will even win this fight. Even though it's been a long time since the last fight with McGregor I don't think that it would be a disadvantage for him, I know that he is still doing practice within those time frames he doesn't have any fights.
That is what I am also thinking right now, What would happen between the fight of Manny Pacquiao and McGregor.

Khabib is really the best between these two and we can't deny that he dominated the both of them.

But going back to the real deal, McGregor will probably still got this one.

Although I think that he will have a hard time to fight Poirier but I still believe that McGregor will beat his ass up.

Our aim is to win in betting so I think that I will bet on what is really obvious compared to high risk and high return, we really have different strategies and preferences in betting.

Yes, if you have extra money to spare and you are willing to lose it, I think it's going to be okay to bet on the underdog. Besides, who is more willing to win this match and make a name for himself? I think it's Poirier. McGregor is more famous compared to him and if there are headlines that say he is beaten by Poirier, it would be music to his ears.  :o

I have high respect for Dustin Poirier but I think this fight is for Conor. Poirier is a stand up fighter which is also the same fighting preference of Conor. The big difference however is that Conor has the more powerful punch. Poirier is talented even in boxing but that will be a different story if Conor's left will connect clean and smooth to his face. If Poirier will absorb it a number of times and could also counter with strong punches, he may survive. But that's a big if.

I think that Conor McGregor will show himself very well in a fight with Dustin Porter as he did six years ago. His Irish zeal to win and his fighting skills can crush almost any opponent. I've seen photos of McGregor in several interviews and to be honest he's in very good shape. I'm looking forward to this fight.

I think McGregor will win although I think it will not be that easy.As always in such kind of events the form of a fighter is key and if any of the fighters is in a bad day the other can win easily.That is why I think that odds are not to be trusted that much in these kind of events.

It seems like all are in favor of McGregor here and I think I will do the same with them, I'm in with the high odds bet.

The video that I saw here on youtube, the "You Are the MAN" https://youtu.be/-Y9FUhKv8EE. Showing that he is confident of anything even his upcoming fight towards Poirer.

This comparison will give us an idea of who better among the two fighters, it seems hard to pick one because they are almost the same.

Conor had finished Poirier in less than 2 minutes. Now Poirier gained some experience (hope so), while Conor I think had lost his “magic” partly. I think and hope this is going to be a close fight that will last 2+ rounds.
I do not follow Dusting social accounts and dont know his condition. Conor - he just trains daily and spends time with his family; he hadnt started real camp yet. I think Conor is more favorite here, just due to his charisma.

Obviously, the fight with Manny has been scratched, so McGregor fight the next big fighter in the list - Poirier. Less money for him, but as the saying goes, someone needs money in order to survived that lifestyle so there goes McGregor.

And it will be the same Conor, big mouth and trash talking Poirier in every way he can. I think he can back it up because he knows he has beaten him in the past. I do hope that Poirier will come up with different strategy, like extending the fight to the distance so that he will have a good chance to pull an upset as Conor is known to have less gas tank and tire in the later rounds. So endurance is the key for Poirier here plus all the tools.

The first match between McGregor and Poirier started the rise of McGregor where he was sparring with his mouth well before the match and the mystic mac persona started after this fight if i remember correctly. Porier was a young fighter coming into the fight and Conor stopped him in the first round as he predicted but the second fight is an entirely different fight and i am expecting a tough battle and i am picking Poirier in this fight consider McGregor was mostly inactive and his terrible gas tank.

This promises to be a great fight, but I also bet Conor McGregor will win, and he is the favorite too.

I hope that Dustin Poirier comes more prepared, because otherwise he could be knocked out in the first round.

I really want to see Mcgregor pick up where he left off against Cowboy. I expect Mcgregor to win this but it’s going to be a much tougher test than his last fight was. I just think it’s all set up for Conor to win this, maybe have one more fight against Ferguson or something & then Dana will tempt Khabib out of retirement with a massive deal to face Conor one more time.

But yes, really looking forward to this fight.

The odds difference are widely gap with McGregor considered not just a Favorite but a Heavy Favorite.

Odds provider will not just give an odds like that if they won't see McGregor will be dominant in that match.

I think this will be a landslide victory and a 2-0 win for McGregor. But with the odds given to Poirier, as a gambler, it's tempting to risk a bet for him. Let's see.

Oh, this is true @DeathAngel, well minded, I also believe that Dana White will have another fight against Tony Ferguson and will probably retire him
Anyway, anything can happen, I'm also looking forward to this fight

Tony Ferguson is on a two fight loosing streak and that is not the fight i wanted to see if McGregor is able to win this fight against Poirier, the only fight that will be interesting will be the Justin Gaethje fight and it is evident that McGregor was avoiding this match up and took the Cowboy fight instead.

A rematch with Khabib is not going to happen as it was a one sided mauling and the only fight that could attract Khabib is the GSP legacy fight.

If Poirier wins a match up against Michael Chandler would be great.

Dustin Poirier is a completely different fighter and the odds makers goes with big names rather than logic sometimes  :D.
Conor McGregor is not active while Dustin Poirier is an active fighter and he is improving every fight and i doubt the cardio issues of McGregor are fixed and with all these factors i will pick Dustin Poirier to win.

The chances that McGregor has, is intimately high and referring in the poll results he had a highest bet for now.
I don't think there will be changes in the upcoming days, but I don't think others would now try to desire for having odds with other challenger. Victory for McGregor is really a sure potential for him and unfortunately there's no room for his rivals.

The fight is now less than one month and the people think McGregor has a higher chance to win this fight but anything can happen in the ring. Anyway, I love to see them fight again with a lot of crowds but that's in a jeopardy right now because of the new strain of CoVid-19. I think we need to adjust ourselves to watching these whole things without some crowds even after this year because the virus has not ended yet.

Agreed! Dustin Poirier has very much improved since their fight in the featherweight division. This fight is also for 5 rounds which benefits Dustin more. Also, Dustin almost caught Khabib with a guillotine choke. He might do this to Conor when Conor is tired.

Poirier will have a higher chance in my opinion if the winning is not decided through decision. Poirier is using Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is a natural predator of Strikers like McGregor. If McGregor does not finish of Poirier with a Knock out then Poirier might see a chance to take him out via submission which is the tricky part because they are both good at their respective style. I think the fight will not be postponed because they might create a bubble like other sporting events.

having this Odds ,Looks like Connor is facing His destination , maybe also indicates the final exit once Poirier wins the fight ,and will continue once he defeat Poirier .

I use to Love connor because of His being outspoken and direct person ,But those decision His camp made recently ,Seems a one step backward.

I will go for the Odds on this one.

Jeebus these odds. While Conor is mostly the better fighter in this case, I wouldn't be surprised if an upset happens either. I mean, this is Dustin Porier, not some random inexperienced fighter.

I've stopped doing SportsBetting for a while now, but these odds are too tasty to ignore. Probably going small on Dustin if I don't forget the date.

Yeah, the odds for a Dustin upset is too attractive, even half a stake for Conor will give us good profits. Hard to ignore though that Conor has that left of his, although Dustin has improved a lot since both of them fight and Conor being the winner. So yeah, I do hope that if Dustin will win here, there should be no surprised and because he really wanted to fight Conor again and avenge his early lost, so he is motivated here.

In their first match, McGregor totally dominated Poirier he showed no respect for Dustin power and skill, on this next match McGregor will still show no respect for Poirier because of his domination in their first fight, Dustin must show in the first seconds of the fight that he is a very different Poirier first time that they met.
I still go for McGregor he knows how to psych Poirier and he will do this again.

Of course McGregor Will Give all his power in this Fight ,and that's how he plays ever since.
But this Opponent is Thirsty to make revenge that has been denied for many years ,giving this chance means "Its now or Never" for Him so for sure this Fight is worth Watching and Betting.
I will go for the Odds, Seemingly will be the Big chance to Win.

I like the odds on Cloudbet. Expect those to go even jucier once the swayers come in to influence the odds for an even greater returns for McGregor. The dude may be washed up and not in his prime anymore, but compared to Poirier he still has more experience, more grit, and more tactics to give on the floor—that is if his cockiness don’t get the better of him. Most of his moves on the floor are still commendable, though again this bout he may need to prove himself to us, the audience, again.

Conor having more experience in TKOs and less submissions gave him the upper hand in this fight. However, Poirier's number of fights would definitely gave him a reason to be better and outstand McGregor. For me, having the fact that McGregor really pushes a fight after months of being out in the field do really make him well fit to win this fight, noted that Conor also tried boxing (which is just loses), would still count as an experience in various training regime. Those were just my cents, betting for McGregor this time.

Dustin was a great fighter when he first faced Conor and remained a great fighter after that. It's just that Conor came out the better fighter on that fight night. After that defeat against Conor, Dustin defeated the UFC greats such as Holloway and Gaethje. So Conor will not be facing an easy opponent here. It is true that he once faced Dustin and proved to be a better fighter but it cannot be the same all the time. He has to come out 100% prepared and conditioned or else Dustin will avenge his earlier loss against the same man.

Dustin is not just an ordinary fighter and he just won the last fight last June.

But even it's 6 years ago when McGregor pulverizes him, and others will say that Dustin improved, McGregor also improved on the way.

I won't be attracted to Dustin's odds as looking at all sides, I don't see any upset here. I might bet for a Decision instead of TKO if there's an available bet.

Right now, my gut is saying bet fight not to go the distance.  It's either going to be an under round 2 KO for Connor or an over round 2 Sub/KO for Dustin.  I just can't imagine this fight going the distance.  Biggest question will be who controls the pace.

I guess this match is a good start for your sports betting return.

As for me, I want Poirier to win but my gut is telling me this is still Conor's fight. That's the reason why I might not place a bet on this, or perhaps a little for McGregor.

By the way, why put off your bet? Are you planning to go live betting on this?

This is fight a 5 round fight, I am very certain that this will not be a decision hehe. It might be Conor with a knockout or Dustin with a technical knockout or a submission.

On improvements of each, I reckon Dustin had more improvement than Conor. Dustin also has the correct mental attitude. In Conor we cannot be certain anymore.

Stopped sports betting because I spent a lot of time in the past watching sports/eSports because of my bets instead of doing things that are more productive.

As for this fight specifically, planning on going small on Poirier. I'll just wait until a week before the event so I can know how busy or not busy I am at the time of the fight.

Conor McGregor may not have the necessary level of self-control and very often he is a very inappropriate antics and attacks on other fighters, but he is able to bring together a huge audience of fans and have spectacular fights. Conor McGregor's career as well as Dustin Poirier's is developing very rapidly and each of them has improved. Well, which one of them will win we will soon find out.

Conor McGregor is one of the best fight promoter in the world with his word sparring against his opponent and that will help in attaining a huge fan base. The career of Conor McGregor is not developing like Dustin Poirier, he is always avoiding tough fights throughout his career and never defended any of his belts even though he changed the sports of MMA for good.

Conor is an entertainer. He knows how to handle the crowd, knows how to market a fight, knows how to make an upcoming match very heated, and most of all knows how to make money. A lot of fans are attracted by his aggressive attitude toward the opponent.

By the way, I have suggested this match for prediction in Futuur. And now it is already available with Conor winning the fight 64% while Dustin winning is 36%. Those are not so bad percentages but it is clear who the favorite is.

Definitely For McGregor in this one, I have some funds to use now from the Bullrun so This is a Sure win though Poirier is also one of the toughest that Connor had faced and this Rival took long years to Put in the octagon again so it's worth betting and watching.
Upon their recent fights ? I guess it will be connor to dominate the Game ,Not unless His Mood will change that same day lets see what comes.

esports? You were even watching esport contests?
It's funnier to watch a match when you bet on it but if you only bet to make money it's better to focus on your money management and avoid to get emotional by acting like a supporter IMO. Live score is generally available on internet for most of events.

The antics of Conor McGregor made him many fans but his last two fights especially against Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov he crossed the limit where he was targeting family race and religion which is not funny and he got defeated badly in those two fights and he knew the level of competition he was facing and he went over the line but against Poirier i am not expecting that kind of antics because of the backlash he faced but i am expecting an entertaining media day.

I did not understand what mood you are talking about. Whenever he losses he usually comes up with an excuse but mostly those are not cringy as he usually takes a loss well and the only time i saw him respond foolishly was when he lost against Khabib  ;D.

Poirier was active for the past few years and he fought many great fights while Conor McGregor was away from the sport and Poirier have the experience and skills to take the fight till the championship rounds while Conor always struggle whenever he fails to finish the fight in the first two rounds.

The fight between Khabib and Conor was personal and Conor was silent after the fight and he usually calls for a rematch and Khabib was completely neglecting that and hence he started the cringe coming out with excuses as far as i remember.

Conor is away from the sport and not that active and with Khabib announcing his retirement he might see another opportunity to win the belt again so that he will be having a much bigger leverage. I am expecting a good fight and Poirier is a different fighter altogether but lets see whether Conor can play mind games just like he did in the first fight :D.

Each Players/fighters has their own Mood the Moment they are in the field to fight/compete and it is not only Conor but all of the athlete Worldwide ,maybe He is pointing about what Conor may have this time.

All of them has their own reasons , and none of them will just accept the reality that They Don't have the capacity of Beating the opponent directly .

I want to see McGregor win because I love that he’s a showboat. I don’t know if he will though. It seems like he’s had a lot of distractions in his life since taking that Mayweather fight. I’m reminded of Tiger Woods and his spectacular fall from atop the golf world. I’d love to see McGregor continue to dominate the UFC like he did in his incredible run to hold titles in 2 weight classes at the same time. I’m just not sure that’s in the cards for him going forward. If he loses this fight we may see him fighting Jake Paul or some other spectacle in the not so distant future.

Poirier Must be in the Most Serious training these days ,because this  a Once in a lifetime chance to have a second try beating the same person.. So McGregor Should take this as a greatest challenge Of His life.

I'll be waiting for the Odds , i'm not deciding who's to bet .

Why everyone is silent here? Still you guys can't digest the fact that McGregor got knocked out? Anyone who made a bet in favor of Poirier would have won a fortune. I would love to see Dustin Poirier taking on Khabib Nurmagomedov next, but in all probability Khabib is not coming out of his retirement. BTW, Jake Paul has put up a few tweets mocking McGregor. I hope he will do the same to Logan Paul, after he gets all his teeth knocked out by Floyd.

Didn't really expect that Poirier would knock out McGregor luckily I haven't able to place bet on this match event, I was really planning to place bet in favor with McGregor. I was curious if they would be having a rematch.

I did side with Poirier on this one, I compared their fighting styles and most articles says that Poirier's style seems to be the dominant one. Khabib is meeting Dana White, I think that it will be a good indicator that a fight will be happening, they just need a lot of money for Khabib to come out like how Mayweather does. Those tweets is just shouting into the void in my opinion, mocking someone that you want to challenge does not make you stronger than the guy that you want to challenge, maybe they should have a taste of fighting the octagon if they really want McGregor.

Khabib already submitted Poirier in the third round on ufc 242. Poirier did not show anything extra ordinary. All his kick and punches were countered and Khabin dominated with his wrestling skills. Doubt that Khabib is interested in re-match. Poirier is not the fighter to return to fight against, that is 200%

Now Mile Tyson is telling McGregor to sign on the line for his 50 million to fight Logan Paul. I don’t think Mike Tyson has been a fan of these types of fights in the past so that says a little something about how he feels about McGregor’s future in the sport. It’s hard to bill yourself as the best fighter in the world when you seem to lose every fight now...

Im still in shook that McGregor still defeat he got no chills maybe Gregor will be leave MMA again since he already finish with his career his getting slow too Poirier improved so much since his last fight and i know he learned it from his mistake that timing is everything and waiting for a legit shot people wouldn't expect that Poirier can defeat gregor since he make his name in the name of MMA but we can't expect the unexpected if you saw the fight gregor is receiving punch and out of breath already nothing is impossible if you train hard.

Didn't expect that McGregor would loose against Poirier and also all the bookmakers expected an (easy ?) win for McGregor. In the first round McGregor was better but congrats to Poirier for giving McGregor his first knockout loss in UFC. I am sure McGregor will come back for some more fights; even he looses them all, he will still have made a lot of money.

McGregor is a joke now, after repeated failures. He needs a big win now, or his MMA career would be finished. IMO, he made a mistake by not concentrating in MMA. Venturing in to boxing was a bad move, although it was monetarily rewarding. Doing an exhibition match against Logan Paul will signal the end of McGregor's professional career. I hope he's not stupid enough to do that.

That's why his eyes are into the world of boxing when in fact there's still much more to learn than what MMA taught him already. It was literally a bad move but I think if he gets into more losses even on any category may it MMA or boxing this may state goodbye to him. He's stupid enough and he'll do that much I guess that's what money can do compare to honor, just my two cents.
