UFC Legend GSP and his coach shared their prediction for Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 3
The MMA world is on tenterhooks as Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 3 is fast approaching. The pair will be looking forward to settling their rivalries once and for all when they face-off in the main event of UFC 264 on the 10th of July.
Having defeated Poirier at UFC 178 back in September 2014, McGregor thought it would be another cakewalk when he scheduled to face-off against the ‘Diamond’ at UFC 257, almost 7 years later.
But, Poirier had other plans. He knocked out McGregor with a flurry of punches and levelled the scores in their rivalry.
And now, they are set to face-off in a trilogy bout in Las Vegas. The victor will get to face Charles Oliveira, the lightweight champion, in a title bout.
A lot of predictions have been coming in for the fight as it inches closer.
