McGregor has been training hard to prepare for his next fight. But with the responsibility of becoming a dad again coming upon his shoulders, one might wonder if this can somehow hinder his performance. He not only has to deal with the birth of his third child but taking care of the family is also important at this point in time.

With all these clashing with his upcoming fight, McGregor certainly needs to find the perfect balance between things. His clash against Poirier is very important if he wants to get back into lightweight title contention.

But now he has yet another significant thing to care about, and that’s his family. Without doubt, McGregor has a great team around him who will help him keep focused in his quest of recapturing lightweight gold.

But with Nurmagomedov’s fighting future uncertain, the Irishman has concentrated on becoming the lightweight kingpin again. McGregor snatched the throne from Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205.

He is set to face Dustin Poirier for the 2nd time in his career. In their previous meeting at UFC 178, he knocked out “The Diamond” in under 2 minutes. But both fighters have evolved a lot since then, and we can expect a very different contest this time.
