Conor McGregor Warns Dustin Poirier-Says Anyone Who’s Fought Me Thrice Has Had an ‘Early Grave’

Published 07/02/2021, 9:09 AM EDT

Conor McGregor returns to action at UFC 264 as he is set to take on Dustin Poirier in the trilogy fight next month. The duo has the score set at 1-1 between them currently. McGregor has a knockout win over ‘The Diamond’ dating back to 2014 at UFC 178. Poirier leveled the tally with his own spectacular finish at UFC 257 earlier this year.

Both men will look to settle the score between them once and for all. Ahead of the context, McGregor took to Twitter recently to give a chilling warning to his opponent. “3 fights against me for any man is an early grave. God bless,” wrote the Irish superstar.

Both fighters are considered two of the best ever to do it in the history of the UFC. While their first fight took place at the featherweight division, the second one was at the lightweight division. The third fight is set to go down in the 155 lbs division as well.

Many touted that McGregor is on borrowed time at the top after his loss in January. It was the first time he has been finished by strikes in his MMA career. However, ‘The Notorious’ will look to prove his doubters wrong yet again.

Whether the Irishman can alter the outcome next month remains to be seen. But the build-up to the trilogy fight promises some heat exchanged between the duo, unlike the second fight.
