Sonnen believes if Poirier walks away with the world title at UFC 269, then it will negatively impact Irish Superstar Conor McGregor. As Conor McGregor has already suffered two heartbreaking losses to Dustin Poirier, it would definitely put him out of the title picture.

Chael Sonnen thinks Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 4 is a tough sell

Is Chael Sonnen right about Conor’s chances at lightweight? The Irish fighter sports a negative record in that division and hasn’t won a fight in that division for well over 5 years. This will definitely make McGregor vs Poirier 4 impossible for the matchmakers should ‘The Diamond’ win at UFC 269.
