The UFC 269 live stream has begun, bringing you a winter wonderland of lightweight action in the main event With challenger Dustin Poirier (1545 lbs) and UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira (155 lbs) weighing in, everything is official

What to expect from Poirier, who defeated Conor McGregor in back-to-back pro fights

With his momentum, one might think Poirier is the favorite However, he is not the big favorite and is -170 (bet $170, win $100) Oliviera is +$138 (bet $100, win $138)

How does Poirier win? Most of his recent wins have come by TKO, with five submissions In any case, he should avoid a repeat of his win at UFC 264, where McGregor broke his leg

Oliveira, however, is riding a nine-fight winning streak That includes a second-round TKO victory over Michael Chandler at UFC 262 in May, when he vacated his title
