Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor: One last time

Controversy aside, the scrap itself promises to bring intensity like never before coupled with lofty stakes. The winner of the rubber match will walk into a lightweight title shot and an extra dimension to their legacy. What’s more, the fact that they’re both 1-1 with one TKO each makes the fight compelling to the average viewer as well.

Poirier will enter the bout with all the momentum having beaten ‘The Notorious’ soundly just six months prior. However, McGregor has a style that will always give Dustin Poirier problems if he steps into range. Not to mention, McGregor’s power is a tremendous equalizer.

With Khabib Nurmagomedov out of the picture, it greatly raises the odds for Poirier or McGregor to pick up his strap. The lightweight division has a long history of accomplished champions, and both the aforementioned fighters fit that bill. It all boils down to who can truly impose their will and game plan when the cage door shuts on the trilogy.
