Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier are set to clash at the UFC 264 main event. Both fighters are training extensively for the fight and would love to end the trilogy with a win. ‘Notorious’ and Poirier are both expecting different things going into the fight. Poirier would look to capitalize on his victory in January and prove he is ready for a title shot, while McGregor would want to prove he still is among the best fighters out there.
As this fight is really important for both fighters, they have been working very hard for it. McGregor had even talked about how he stayed away from his family for some time to concentrate on his training.
The UFC 264 is a grand event and McGregor is a worldwide superstar. Therefore, it was odd to see the fighter not being a part of many interviews before the event.
