Chiefly, Conor McGregor let out an affirmation of his preparation and left no doubt that he’ll come well prepared. Furthermore, he did a deep dive and explained that his approach for the trilogy fight will be like his early career preparation.

UFC 257 rewind: Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor

The trilogy fight will probably be one of the best-selling events in UFC history. There’s a lot on the line for both parties who are looking to make their mark on the sport. What’s more, the victor will probably walk into a title fight opportunity against the winner of Michael Chandler vs Charles Oliveira. The prospect of a title shot and bragging rights has made the rubber match extremely intriguing.

There is speculation amongst fans that the third fight will play out much as the second fight. Dustin Poirier looked to get into close range on Conor McGregor and began chopping away at his leg. With McGregor’s base highly compromised, Poirier moved in for the kill and secured the TKO.

The scrap was the first time that the Irishman had ever been TKO’ed via strikes in his storied MMA career. He sustained limb destruction and is now aiming to make adjustments just a few months from his last performance. However, regardless of the outcome, there’s no doubt that the aforementioned pay-per-view event will be a box-office success for the organization.
