McGregor doesn\u2019t fight very often (at least <em>inside<\/em> the cage \u2013 he seems to be in constant legal fights involving bad behaviour outside of it), constantly is \u201cretiring\u201d, and constantly is threatening to take another sham boxing match. So, in honour of this monumental event, I thought I\u2019d do a whole column breaking down Poirier-McGregor 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tale of the Tape<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, right \u2013 Conor needs to have an opponent on the other side of the cage against him. I have yet to mention who that is. That would be Dustin Poirier, and as the event name UFC 257: Poirier vs McGregor 2 hints at, this is indeed a rematch. The two men met way back at <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/lists\/dustin-poirier-vs-conor-mcgregor-ufc-178-257-flashback-photos-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UFC 178<\/a> in September of 2014, when they were featherweights and still in their mid-20s. The fight ended in under two minutes, with McGregor TKOing Poirier with a strike behind his ear, followed up with punches while Poirier was on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much we can glean from that fight is up for debate. First, it was a long, long time ago in fight terms. Secondly, both men were fighting at 145 pounds \u2013 this contest will be at lightweight (155 pounds), which is a much better weight class for the two. Lastly, the fight ended so quickly there is not much info to take away from it. Perhaps it\u2019ll give a mental advantage to the Irishman, considering he knows he can knock out his American opponent (not that McGregor needs any more confidence in his own abilities than he already has).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/danawhite\/status\/1346121636076896256\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the tale of the tape and the statistics heading in doesn\u2019t give us much help either. Both men stand 5\u20199\u201d, both are southpaws, Conor is only one year older than Dustin, and he has a two-inch reach advantage. Pretty much a push. Their striking stats \u2013 the top predictor of a winner of an upcoming fight \u2013 are also identical \u2013 remarkable so, even. From <a href=\"http:\/\/ufcstats.com\/fight-details\/3d3e7dc7b4bf2bc4\">UFCStats.com<\/a>, you\u2019ll see that Poirier lands 5.57 strikes per minute; McGregor 5.43. Poirier\u2019s striking accuracy is one percent better than McGregor\u2019s, at 50%. Both men absorb a little over four strikes per minute from their opponents, and their striking defense is also only one percentage point apart, with McGregor leading at 55%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of grappling, Poirier is more active with his takedowns and looking for submissions, while McGregor is more accurate on takedowns and has better takedown defense. So, a wash here also. And both men won their last fight after losing the fight before to Khabib Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>McGregor&#8217;s Power to Make the Difference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The big factor in this fight could be McGregor\u2019s power, which is normally the determining factor in all his fights. He not only hits hard, but he is remarkably accurate and has impeccable timing. If Poirier allows this to be a striking battle, there is a good chance he\u2019ll have his lights put out, even though he\u2019s is extremely durable. Will Poirier use his grappling and try to take McGregor down? Will he even be able to take Conor down, considering the Irishman has particularly good takedown defense?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this adds up to an awfully close fight to call \u2013 however, the odds don\u2019t reflect this. Most books seem to have the fight currently in the <code>10\/27<\/code> range for McGregor. While my pick to win it is McGregor, I\u2019m not a fan of such high odds. However, I do think that he\u2019ll win by knockout, and you can get that at a much more advantageous <code>5\/8<\/code> currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>*All odds correct at time of writing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UFC\u2019s prodigal son is finally set to return home to the octagon.
