A boatload of fighters have been coming in with their prediction for Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 3 – UFC 264
Just over 40 days left for the trilogy fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. The pair will be looking forward to settling their rivalry, with the scoreline currently 1-1.
After McGregor knocked out Poirier at UFC 178 in September 2014, the ‘Diamond’ has shown immense improvement in his game.
The new and matured Poirier took on McGregor earlier this year in the rematch, and knocked out the Irishman in the second round, handing him his first-ever knockout loss.
And now it will be boiling down to the third fight at UFC 264 on the 10th of July. A lot of predictions have been coming in, and UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping gave his prediction for the highly-anticipated McGregor vs Poirier 3.
In a chat with Helen Yee, in his residence, Bisping said he was leaning towards Poirier since he is coming off the knockout win over McGregor, before going on to speak about McGregor’s wealth.
“Who knows? They both knocked each other out, they both have tremendous skills. You know, I think because of the momentum, because of the recent knockout maybe a lean towards Dustin. But you can never underestimate Conor McGregor, as we know. And he’s a very wealthy man, he’s got untold riches. But the one thing you can’t buy is a UFC championship. And we know that Conor holds his fighting ability and his fighting reputation dear to his heart.”
Michael Bisping has been trading verbal bombs with Jake Paul since December, as Bisping was baited by Paul’s hate comments towards a plethora of MMA fighters.
Bisping recently revealed that Paul and his team came up with an offer for a fight. ‘The Count’ claimed that he wasn’t interested, but wanted to check if Paul was being serious.
Upon further fidgeting with Paul’s team, Bisping had come to know that Paul didn’t have any serious intentions of fighting him.
Bisping told the Schmo:
“”They made me an offer- some money to fight him. And I wasn’t really interested. But I said, ‘Double that’, to my manager, when my manager went back with double. I said, ‘Let’s see what he says with that. Let’s see if he is really serious.’ So, he did send me an offer…I know what he did, he was just using me, he had no intentions of ever fighting me.”
