Islam Makhachev defeated Dustin Poirier at UFC 302 via a fifth-round submission. Poirier put up an impressive fight against the Dagestani however he lost the bout and now Makhachev still reigns atop the 155-pound division. The Louisiana native showed his grappling prowess but the Dagestani landed some powerful shots and won the bout. Makhachev gave a strong D’Arce choke in the end and made ‘The Diamond’ tap out to win the title for a third time! But it’s someone else grabbing the headline now!

Even after showing such a dangerous game in the Octagon, neither fighter seems to have impressed Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ recently gave out a tweet that seemed to threaten his own opponent Michael Chandler, and completely avoided giving any attention to the UFC 302 main event.

In a recent Twitter upload, ‘Mystic Mac’ was seen practicing his punches with his coach inside the boxing ring. He was pretty swift and agile in his training and even wrote a menacing caption. ‘The Notorious’ said, “20KO’s up next for the Mac Dad.” So McGregor plans to not only fight Michael Chandler but finish him via a KO!

The UFC 303 bout will go down on June 29th so not many days are left to the fight. Chandler and McGregor are both training hard for the bout but ‘The Notorious’ is also indulging in other things! He sure seems confident about his skills and form this time. He was seen partying again and is not looking too serious about the fight with Chandler. This was pretty evident from the several videos of him partying in his Black Forge Inn pub. He was seen partying with his fiance recently and again he uploaded another video of him partying with models.

During the UFC 302 press conference after the fight, Dana White had to be answerable to these actions and he was pretty confused about the whole ordeal!

Dana White does not know if this is true or false

Even after the UFC has a trusted array of social media pages and podcasters, White still seems to be skeptical about the internet. the 54-year-old does not know what to believe when it comes to Conor Mcgregor’s party shenanigans.

He was seen saying, “I don’t know what’s real on the internet and what’s not real on the internet… I don’t know if any of that’s real or true.” He also put caution to the wind by saying that McGregor was a very level-headed guy with good business acumen and would never put his fights in jeopardy. Dana White also said that he was travelling to Dublin to see the press conference for Chandler and McGregor.

The UFC 303 event will go down on June 29 and could determine how things take shape in the lightweight division next. What do you think? Will McGregor add another KO to his record book?
