Guys, anyone of you visited any ufc even live? Just curious.
If you are asking about watching a live event in the arena, the last event i was able to watch was UFC 242 when Khabib Nurmagomedov faced Dustin Poirier and it was a crazy experience because prior to that all of my experience were going to OneFC and Brave events which is a different experience altogether and more over there were fighters personally known to me especially Bala Shetty who competed in OneFC in the past and Rahul Raju who is still competing in OneFC.
After watching the pre fight press conference i felt like Dustin Poirier is nervous even though both Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor praised each other and we are seeing a completely different McGregor.

We are only two days until UFC 257 start and I just watched pre-fight press conference and Conor with new glasses and his proper attitude when he suggested that Khabib should be stripped from his title ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Put that aside, I am really interested watching co-main event and for fight Ottman Azaitar vs Matt Frevola. Azaitar is undefeated with 13-0 score and most of his wins are KO or TKO, so it will be interesting to see him against Frevola who is good with submissions and has only one lost fight with score 8-1.

Yup, Poirier def was. He looked deflated and I guess it’s an energy or vibe thing cos you could tell McGregor could sense it as he was projecting himself a lot more. That face off tho.. Poirier is ready. Don’t you guys forget he fought Gaethje and won.

Bad news... fight Ottman Azaitar vs. Matt Frevola and Nasrat Haqparast vs Arman Tsarukyan are canceled and removed from UFC 257 fight card ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Ottman Azaitar was one of my UFC picks this time but he missed to show up for weigh-in, and similar thing happened with other mentioned fighter Nasrat Haqparast. Good thing is that main and co-main events are confirmed!

^ Main card starts at 11pm ET so main event could prolly be starting at around 1:00am ET.
I'm not so sure. I think the first fight of the undercard is on at 11:30 and McGregor is looking like it'll be at 5am. I doubt I'll stay up for that and just watch the replay in the morning: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/mma/13774465/ufc-257-mcgregor-poirier-card-prelims-uk-start-time-chandler-hooker/McGregor's huge rematch with Poirier is expected to get underway at around 5am UK time on Sunday, January 24.
The early prelims, however, will get going from 11pm the night before.
The prelims will follow, getting underway from 1am, with the main card expected at 3am.
Though 5am GMT is a realistic time for McGregor vs Poirier, you could see the clash a little earlier if undercard bouts end quickly. Not sure why they've done it at that time especially since it's also early morning Dubai. Gonna be weird for them to get used to the time zone then fighting early in the morning anyway. Really crappy odds for Conor. I just went for McGregor-Hooker parlay.
I don't think he will be troubled in this fight.

Ottman Azaitar and Matt Frevola could have been a great fight but the rest of the main cards are intact and the match up i am looking forward is how Michael Chandler performs in the UFC, Dan Hooker clearly has the height advantage and he is good in take down defense and how Michael Chandler could perform during adversity is what makes this fight interesting. For the main card i am going with Dustin Poirier as i feel like he is much established in the division and have gone through great strikers and came on top while McGregor is having his third fight.

I just saw the weigh-in of Gregor and Poirer and I must say that McGregor is looking way more ripped than the last time and you can clearly see this on his body and legs that are huge since the last time. Also his abdomen and neck muscles are more trained so I really can't see how Poirer can win this fight. I saw him in his last fight , I saw him now and I think he improved a lot until this fight but for me , McGregor has a huge advantage.

^ McGregor has bad cardio. Early rounds are for him. If it goes to the later rounds, Poirier could win. It’s fun to have the ceremonial weigh ins again. UFC 257: Weigh inshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SnkcDn3nrEI like Pena and Jojo I even like Jojo via KO at over 7 That is my short write up ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) A spot I really like is Chandler at 2.15 at Stake and his KO prop at 4.6.

This is exactly the sole reason i am going with Dustin Poirier to win the fight, if McGregor cannot catch him early in the fight especially in the first two rounds it is going to be a difficult fight for Conor McGregor as Dustin Poirier will gain momentum as the rounds increases and his stamina and endurance will prevail and that is what i am expecting and with the level of respect both fighters are showing which is unusual for Conor McGregor, i am confident on my bet .

I haven't seen the weigh ins yet, but I think Connor might prove that his cardio has got better. This has always been a criticism of his, and arguably you could say that's why he lost against Mayweather, and he wants to fight Pac which is going to take some cardio to even compete. I know that Connor has been pushing a fitness app recently, surely he can't show the same fitness issues while pushing this app out there?
That being said I'm not even sure this is going to reach the later rounds. Conor knocked out Poirier very quickly last time out, but Poirier has looked like a stronger fighter ever since, and looks like the real business. Although, you just can't count Conor out. He's just an incredible athlete.
Here's my predictions pending changes, depending on anything stand out ish that happened during the weigh ins. I usually tend to look out for signals of a bad cut rather than anything like not looking in the zone etc. Weigh ins don't usually overly influence my predictions though.
Albazi (Decision) Evloev (Decision) Rountree (TKO/KO) Antonio Carlos Junior (Decision) Pena (Decision) Tsarukyan (Decision) Ribas (Decision) Muradov Calderwood (Decision) Chandler (TKO/KO) Mcgregor (Decision)
I can't see a lot of upsets going on this weekend, but I might be wrong. I've got Mcgregor by decision, but its entirely possible this ends in the first couple of rounds. However, I kind of want to see these two put a show on, considering I'm going to be staying up to watch it. I think we'll see Poirier being a little more cautious against Mcgregor this time out.
The pressure on this fight to end in a "spectacular" way is massive though, and I'm not sure if we are going to see Conor go in all guns blazing, gas out, and then get caught. I hope not, as there's definitely a story arc to him winning.

Dustin Poirier VS Conor McGregor![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FEPWkms7.jpg&t=665&c=xpjIov7ksxLQEQ) This is the fight that we are all been waiting for and it will be tomorrow and in my opinion, I really like to see how McGregor improves here and against the Cowboy Cerrone that he beat in just 4 Mins 20 Secs, but he can not ignore Poirier's toughness and in his fight against Dan Hooker it end up in a bloody decision both men never giving up, it was a mess but Dan Hooker is one tough guy to crack open, my bet is on Conor McGregor.

Nothing stood out to me in the weigh ins, except both fighters are looking ready. Honestly, if I were to bet on it this fight probably does end via a TKO. Just because of the energy coming into this fight, Conor has a lot to prove after some justified criticism, and Poirier will be looking to make up for last time against Conor. Conor doesn't usually play a slow fight, and Poirier with something to prove sticks out to me as a potential open fight, which will lead to one of the boys getting knocked out.
I'm still sticking with chandler against Hooker, but I'll change to a decision rather than a TKO. I'm also changing to a Conor TKO, just because of the mentioned energy coming into the fight from both sides.

Bad news... fight Ottman Azaitar vs. Matt Frevola and Nasrat Haqparast vs Arman Tsarukyan are canceled and removed from UFC 257 fight card ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Ottman Azaitar was one of my UFC picks this time but he missed to show up for weigh-in, and similar thing happened with other mentioned fighter Nasrat Haqparast. Good thing is that main and co-main events are confirmed! Ottman Azaitar was also removed by Dana from the UFC for violating safety protocols. It appears that he does not care for this sport or his career in MMA. As reported by Farrah Hannoun of MMA Junkie, Azaitar and his team cut their wristbands and handed them off to individuals who were outside of the safe zone, who were then snuck past security members. The entire ordeal was caught on camera.Source https://www.mmanews.com/2021/01/ottman-azaitar-released-by-ufc-for-violating-safety-protocols/On more lighter news, Conor donated to Dustin Poirier’s The Good Fight Foundation. Similar to how good and entertaining it is to watch the bad Conor, the good Conor is also not bad to watch hehehehe. Dustin Poirier has confirmed Conor McGregor has donated to his charity, the Good Fight Foundation.
In the making of this fight, originally, McGregor and Poirier were arranging their own exhibition bout with the Irishman donating to Poirier’s charity. However, the UFC ended up making the fight, but “The Diamond” revealed McGregor kept to his word and donated to the charity.Source https://www.mmanews.com/2021/01/dustin-poirier-confirms-conor-mcgregor-has-donated-to-the-good-fight-foundation/

Poirier is the same as he was when he faced McGregor before? Absolutely NO. He is more experienced and tougher. But McGregor's strength of TKO in the early stages of the fight will play a crucial role here. The combination of speed, power, and precision of attack favors McGregor. But once Poirier can take the fight to later rounds, then as history shows that McGregor has lost when the fight has reached the later rounds and I think Poirer's toughness ability has the power to do so.
It's going to be a tough fight but odds favor McGregor and my personal favorite McGregor too. So, I hope he wins.

It's crazy what Ottman Azaitar did with breaking the rules and jumping in and out the bubble, that resulted in him now being released from UFC as confirmed by Dana White in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGP02KGLAMEAfter all removed fights this is final fight card for UFC 257: https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1352994498876334081This is first Michael Chandler fight in UFC after coming from Bellator and I like him against Hooker but not sure how he is going to handle transition and first fight presure.

Ottman Azaitar was also removed by Dana from the UFC for violating safety protocols. It appears that he does not care for this sport or his career in MMA. To surpass the security and allow people outside the bubble that could risk the entire people coming into this fight is a serious situation, i cannot understand why Ottman Azaitar and his team wanted to do these kind of things silly activities during a pandemic situation which will nullify all the hard work they have done to keep everyone secure. But once Poirier can take the fight to later rounds, then as history shows that McGregor has lost when the fight has reached the later rounds and I think Poirer's toughness ability has the power to do so. Dustin Poirier is durable in the 155 pound division and i am expecting the fight to go to the later rounds and it all depends upon the conditioning of Conor McGregor as well. This is first Michael Chandler fight in UFC after coming from Bellator and I like him against Hooker but not sure how he is going to handle transition and first fight presure. Michael Chandler is training hard for a long time and it is going to be a great fight and Hooker is a good striker and has the height advantage.

If Poirier would not last up to 6 rounds then Conor McGregor can win this, And if Conor McGregor can not takedown Poirier immediately this may end up in a decision, I should say Dustin Poirier is one tough fighter to crack, But I guess the training of McGregor has paid off against Donald Cerrone, But I would like to see Conor fight Khabib again but I don't think that may happen if Khabib Nurmagomedov would have an offer for a rematch for a ton of something, but still, it is on 1% possible.

I've gone for a cheeky bet on Mcgregor to get a TKO inside the 4th or 5th round. No matter what happens, I only hope that its an actual fight, and doesn't end like it did last time. I want to see a few rounds of these boys going at each other, to get a good idea on the skill set difference. Plus, waiting until 0500, and seeing an instant knockout has got to be one of the most frustrating things.
