Michael Chiesa Tells Michael Bisping That Dustin Poirier Was Smart To Fight Conor McGregor Than Fighting for the Title

‘The Notorious’ responded, “There will be a lot of weapons. There will be a lot of weapons produced on the night for sure. He wants mixed martial arts, he’s going to get it.” 

Things are getting heated between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier 

‘The Notorious’ recently put out a tweet suggesting that the first fighter to shoot for a takedown is a ‘Dusty b***h’. It was a sly dig at Poirier who went for a takedown early in round one in their second fight earlier this year.

‘The Diamond’ was not very happy about the comments. He said, “How about, the first one to get taken down is a dusty b***h. This is mixed martial arts, put it all together. It reeks of insecurity to me.”

McGregor, who is not known for having the best gas tank, has had endurance issues multiple times in his career. Therefore, Poirier adopted a good game plan of securing a takedown early to wear down Conor McGregor and deplete his gas tank. However, ‘The Notorious’ did well in the grappling exchanges and was not completely dominated on the ground. 

Going into the third fight, Poirier will most likely try to take McGregor down as the billboard would not have affected his mindset in any way. However, it will be interesting to see how ‘The Notorious’ copes with takedowns this time around at UFC 264.
