Conor McGregor Makes Quick Work Of Dustin Poirier In UFC Free Fight

June 30, 2021 by Web Desk

Making a quick leap up the featherweight ranks, Conor McGregor met battle-tested Dustin Poirier at UFC 178 in September 2014.

The brash Conor played his usual mind games leading up to the fight, and it was obvious that he got in Dustin’s head. It didn’t take long for him to back up his bold prediction, either, taking it right to Dustin from the start.

Conor came out loose and confident, throwing an array of strikes, from spinning back kick to his patented left hand. Less than two minutes into the fight, Conor clipped Dustin behind his ear with a big left and followed up with some ground and pound until the referee stopped the fight.

Dustin would exact his revenge in the rematch by knocking Conor out almost six years later at UFC 257, setting up the highly anticipated trilogy bout.

Conor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) takes on Dustin (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC) in that key rubber match on July 10 in the headliner of UFC 264 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Before they square off for the third time, relive Conor’s finish of Dustin.

Khabib Nurmagomedov Predicts For Conor McGregor Vs Dustin Poirier

July 1, 2021June 29, 2021 by Web Desk

Khabib Nurmagomedov has given Conor McGregor a narrow window if he is to come out on top in next month’s trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier.

With the score standing at 1-1 in the rivalry after Dustin became the first man to TKO Conor in mixed martial arts, the lightweight contenders will take to the Octagon for a third time in the main occasion of UFC 264 on July 10.

Khabib recognizes Conor and Dustin better than most, having wrestled and beaten both men by submission.

Khabib, who retired from MMA last October, believes that Conor’s only chance of victory at UFC 264 will be a first-round knockout against Dustin.

Khabib told UFC Russia, “Once again, it’s the same thing [as the previous two fights],”

Khabib predicts Conor vs Dustin III

“The first round is [the best chance] for Conor. He can win in the first round. If he doesn’t win it in the first round then Dustin Dustin wins.”

Conor knocked Dustin out when they first wrestled as featherweights, in 2014, but ‘The Diamond’ took revenge at UFC 257 earlier this year.

The winner of the rubber match is projected to be next in line for a shot at the UFC’s lightweight title, which was vacated by Khabib and subsequently won by Charles Oliveira.

Khabib has earlier backed protege Islam Makhachev to ultimately become the UFC’s 155lbs champion and he is impressed by the Russians currently plying their trade in the lightweight division, even though he fears that we will see an all-Russian title fight any time soon.

Khabib said of his fellow countrymen “Honestly, I doubt that it is the case for the belt but the contending fights, it is possible,”

“They are strong and they have enough experience. They are ready to face this challenge. I think Islam and those guys will go far.

“It is such a nice composition in the division. Not only them but also the Brazilians – for instance, Charles Oliveira and Rafael dos Anjos.

“The Americans are also well-represented in the division with Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, and Michael Chandler.”
