This fight is to unify the 155 championship, it takes place tomorrow.
Who wins and how?
I've got Khabob by whatever he wants. Probably some kind of choke. 2nd round.
Hopefully Dustin can make it interesting.
Unfortunately, I dont have any way to watch this, so I'm gonna need Paul E Dangerously to do a live play by play. Thanks in advance, Paul.
Weigh in:

I'm picking Khabib also, and probably can't watch live either! Too bad, looks like an awsome card...

I hope Dustin can keep the fight close. I like both guys, so I'm just rooting for a good fight. As far as the rest of the card. I don't know 80% of them.
I'll probably stream it while I'm watching college football. I refuse to get that ESPN+ bullshit.

Dustin is tough and has a great gas tank, but I still think he gets mauled for five rounds. Khabib 50-45.
I’m hoping I’m wrong and we get a barnburner but hard to see Dustin stuffing Khabib’s takedowns.

I had a horrible stream, kept freezing up. So I can't really rate the fight or the card. Everytime it would unfreeze. They were always on the ground. Khabib just having his way. It didn't look like Dustin even tried to defend or block the RNC.

So around 8:30 PM I start looking for streams for the fight. But a buddy told me it was in the morning because of the time zones.
I was pretty busy today and managed to stay out of social media all day.. I downloaded an HD torrent of the event around midnight and watched the whole thing without any spoilers.
Khabib broke Dustin. Took his soul and will to fight right out of him. It wasn't super violent or exciting really, just total domination.
The rest of the card was meh.

this card was pretty terrible. The co-main and main were fun, but overall a VERY boring event. I expect the buy rate to be one of the worst ever due to the lack of star power and early morning broadcast.

Dustin looked mentally broken during the fight and in the post fight press conference. He says he might retire from fighting.

I expect the buy rate to be one of the worst ever due to the lack of star power and early morning broadcast. I never go to the bar to watch fights, but for this card none of my buddies were free and I knew I was only interested in the co main and main, so I got to the bar right before the co main started, which coincidentally was right when the main college football game here ended, so spots were open at the bar. Watched the last two fights, which were both enjoyable, had a beer and a sandwich, and called it a day. One of the more pleasurable UFC bar experiences I've had. Bet small on Paul Felder, Poirier/Khabib at <3.5 rds, and Poirier to win. Won two of the three bets, which was lucky considering I kind of thought Felder lost. I knew Poirier was rightfully a sizable dog, but thought why not give it a shot. I certainly wasn't betting on khabib as a 5-1 fav. Khabib / Tony has to happen next. Tony strikes me as a slightly better version of Poirier, especially off his back. And a little harder to predict on his feet. He needs to do what Dustin couldn't - stay the F away from the fence at all costs. I'm thinking Khabib may be more like a 3-1 favorite for that fight.

That beatdown khabib gave Dustin turned him bipolar. He wants to retire one minute, now he wants Conor. Conor vs Dustin would be a good fight. And that would allow Tony to finally fight khabib...as long as tony doesn't lose to the electric cables again.

Now Khabib is saying he wants GSP next... SMH... Khabib and his team have been on this for a couple years now. I don't see any signs that GSP is going to fight anyone though. Hopefully Tony gets his shot.

GSP already said on Bad Guy Inc. a couple of weeks ago that they tried to make this fight and couldn't. He is now saying that this ship has sailed, and to forget about it.
Part of the problem is that Dana doesn't want GSP doing to the LW division what he did to the MW division. He's not committing to more than one fight. So he'd either win the LW belt and relinquish it, or fight Khabib at 265 which Dana thinks doesn't do the UFC any favors, either.

Jesus Christ, 265? Tony needs his shot! Conor and Justin can fight for next. Dustin can fight Cowboy.

Yep, 265. GSP has fallen in love with the American Cheeseburger.

Is that a minimum of 265? That might be interesting.
