Pick: Poirier

Former lightweight champion Conor McGregor picks his former foe over the reigning title holder.

“I think Dustin does him, knocks him out,” McGregor says. “I think the things that Makhachev does wrong, the things he’s not good at, he fumbles over his feet usually early on and falls into shots. He’s been knocked out by a back check hook from a southpaw before inside the UFC, and that’s one of Dustin’s best shots. If Dustin’s ever going to do it, it’ll be this time.”
