What will a loss against Dustin Poirier mean for Conor McGregor’s UFC career?

McGregor is without a doubt the biggest star in the UFC and perhaps the only one capable of selling over a million PPV buys which he has done multiple times. However, part of that has to do with the fact that he puts on stunning displays while securing impressive wins. If McGregor cannot win fights, he might not be able to sell the number of PPVs he normally does. 

Against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, McGregor was knocked out for the first time in a fight many believed he would win easily. Losing is a part of the sport and the very best have succumbed to losses. However, the manner in which McGregor lost the fight disappointing, to say the least. 

Many believe that the trilogy against Dustin Poirier will be ‘make or break’ for ‘The Notorious’. Fans, pundits, and other fighters alike have questioned his levels of motivation given the financial success he has achieved. While a loss will not diminish his star power, it will severely impact his reputation as a fighter.
