                  On Saturday night, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will settle a rivalry that dates back to 2014 when they battle at UFC 264. The third fight between the pair of lightweights headlines the action from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

                  The combatants first met in 2014 on McGregor’s rise to superstardom when the Irishman scored a first-round TKO of Poirier, who was also a rising contender in the featherweight division at the time. Then, the two met seven years later in January in the lightweight division with Poirier evening the score with a second-round TKO of his own. Now they look to put the final touches on this rivalry in arguably the biggest PPV event of the year.

                  There’s a lot more action set for the card, including a big welterweight co-main event between former welterweight title contenders Stephen Thompson and Gilbert Burns, as well as the return of controversial former NFL star Greg Hardy, who takes on Tai Tuivasa in a heavyweight clash.

                  There was a bit of controversy on the scales for one of the undercard fights on Friday. Women’s bantamweight Irene Aldana missed the mark by 3.5 pounds for her scheduled bout with Yana Kunitskaya set for the main card. It’s the second straight time that a Kunitskaya opponent has missed this badly, but the first miss by Aldana in her career. The fight will still go forward with Aldana forfeiting 30% of her purse to Kunitskaya.

                  Campbell on why Poirier will win: The harsh reality for McGregor entering their trilogy is that Poirier has evolved to the level in which he might be better than the “Notorious” one in every category short of one-punch power. Whatever strategy McGregor brings to the table, Poirier showed in the rematch that he was able to one-up him with a mid-fight adjustment. Although McGregor had moments in their rematch while walking his opponent down with punches, Poirier also showed the ease in which he can take McGregor down should he need to go in that direction. As always, Poirier will need to weather the early storm of the opening round when McGregor is perennially dangerous. But Poirier is too well-rounded and battle tested to allow McGregor’s one-note style to be enough at this elite level. 

                  Brookhouse on why Poirier will win: McGregor is always one shot away from winning a fight and that’s no different against Poirier. Beyond that ability to catch Poirier with a big shot, McGregor doesn’t seem to have a lot of paths to victory here. Poirier is a more complete mixed martial artist and has been grinding and evolving while McGregor has toyed with boxing, retirement and crime. It’s a lot to ask for McGregor to have completely overhauled his style in six months of training — minus time off because of the January knockout loss — meaning his stance is still going to be wide open for leg kicks. McGregor also isn’t up to Poirier’s level in cardio and everyone knows his liabilities on the ground, which is clear with his new stance that he “only counts knockouts” on his record and his statement that Poirier would be a “dusty b—” if he goes for a takedown. There’s just too many ways for Poirier to win and too few for McGregor that the pick feels obvious.

                  Campbell on why Burns will win: Both fighters have been to the welterweight title level and come up short, and each one is looking for one more shot at re-entering the overall title picture. Because of that, it’s hard not to imagine Thompson and Burns both coming in carrying the pressure of hoping to make a statement. It’s that potential that could be dangerous for the 38-year-old Thompson given just how explosive Burns has become during his late-career resurgence into a well-rounded fighter. Burns came up short against champion Kamaru Usman in February but landed some big strikes early on. Catching “Wonderboy” won’t be easy and will take some patience, but Burns has the cardio to push an aggressive pace and create enough chaos to open up a finishing strike.

                  Brookhouse on why Thompson will win: Burns has become a dangerous welterweight and came very close to taking the 170-pound title off Kamaru Usman. Thompson creates a different kind of puzzle, however, with timing and angles that are almost entirely unique in the division. In a three-round fight, Burns may end up taking a round to figure out how to deal with those stylistic quirks, which already puts him in a desperate situation. Thompson should be able to avoid taking a killshot from Burns and just outpoint the Brazilian to score a decision win and creep a little bit closer to one final title shot.

                  Brookhouse on why Tuivasa will win: When figuring out why Tuivasa will win, you can start with Hardy’s cardio issues, which have been a recurring issue in his career. Tuivasa is a good fighter, and Hardy isn’t on the level of the men who have beat him. With a steady diet of leg kicks and some pace pushing, Tuivasa should be in position to finish off an exhausted Hardy. It’s worth remembering that Tuivasa went a hard three rounds with Andrei Arlovski, so we’ve seen that he has the ability to go the full 15 without fading. Hardy has repeatedly had trouble going a hard five.
