UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier took to social media and shared his enthusiasm to scrap against Conor McGregor in their rubber match. It came out recently that the famed trilogy will headline the UFC’s July pay-per-view event. Both parties have signed the contract, and the aforementioned lightweights are gearing up for war.

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. Dustin ‘The Diamond’ took notice and came with a response to McGregor’s statements.

Given the way he performed in the second fight, Dustin Poirier will enter the rubber match with a chip on his shoulder. He showed a fresh look to McGregor that allowed him to implement a well-crafted game plan. What’s more, he’s known to enter the octagon, all guns blazing, and will continue with the same approach when facing the Irishman once more.

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.
