    Big fan of Dustin I hope he wins. I like Islam too I'm a fan of his and his coach and mentor and friend Kahabib but I hope Dustin takes it.

    Great fight.

    Good fight, it's not going to be quick like people are saying, it's going to be a late finish or make the distance. I believe Islam fights at a slower pace than people think, I have him by UD.

    Costa Strickland is fun too, I'm interested to see if Paulo can catch Sean.

    June is a really strong month for the UFC. Things have been pretty rough since UFC 300.

    I am cheering for Dustin as this may be his last fight. I have been a fan of Dustin in the entirety of my 10 year tenure as an MMA fan.

    Islam has no chin so if Poirier can keep it standing and doesn't jump for guillotines I wouldn't be surprised if he clipped him. Even old McGregor has good shot in the first two rounds against Islam. Poirier will probably find a way to lose even if he's doing well though.

    I won´t bother to verify it, but someone stated that UFC champions are 0-8 when Paulo Costa is on their undercards.

    It´s kinda funny how good Strickland is.
    He looks like he is in the first round while Costa is clearly struggling with his stamina.
