Why did they decide on "Poirier V McGregor" rather than "McGregor v Poirier"?

[StormGymLuton]

Sorry if this has been bought up already but I missed it...

Conor walking out first. Name second on the event?

I assume because Dustin is ranked higher, but when has that ever stopped McGregor being the main event? Guess it doesn't really matter but quite shocked by this. Mostly that Conor was ok with this...

DP is ranked #2 while Greg is ranked #4

its because poirier first arrived on fight island

 

[Bad Karate]

Because it is irrelevant and nobody would ever notice or complain about the order of the fighters names.

They go by amount of wins in division. Lucky the refs name wasn't before McGregor

I can imagine that Conor definitely would...

He is worth 9 figures, I'm sure he is very concerned.

Dustin is obviously the A side in this fight

Conor walking out first. Name second

You realise that the blue corner walks out first?
e.g. Usman vs Burns
Usman will walk out second, name goes first

They measured a dick length and that was a deciding factor, sources say.

As you said, it's because Poirier is ranked higher than Conor. It's as simple as that.

Get McGregors balls out of your mouth.

I dont care personally? Just a bit suprising. Sherdog is such a weird place. Get attacked for asking a very fair, logical question

Yeh Conor walked out first at the weigh ins, press conference and obviously will at the fight too. That's my point...

 

[Wreckless]

Whoever is ranked higher. Conor is no exception to that rule.

Yes that's exactly my point.
The BLUE corner does everything first. The RED corner goes first on the poster.

You wouldn't have "Roxanne Modaferri vs Valentina Shevchenko" would you? And Roxanne would be walking out first.

I don't know how you aren't comprehending what I've just told you and given you an example of, twice.

Wrong. I guess both you and the TS are strictly casual.

The higher ranked fighter in the division the fight is taking place in takes top billing. It’s as simple as that.
