The star of the Rocky series has a rich history in the world of antagonistic sports and is a big fan of the UFC. Because of this, he was looking forward to the third competition between Poirier and McGregor on July 10.
“It was a difficult match,” Stallone answered when asked about his prediction for the light match. “It was a real difficulty. The result was what we really could launch a coin to predict.
The match results will depend on the factor as 'Who will be the first player?' We have a young man who really desires (Poirier) and a guy who earns a lot of money, and is also very longing (McGregor). People have two fighters a little psychologically hesitant, but Poirier has a bigger advantage. ”
In the first meeting in September 2014, McGregor defeated Poirier in less than two minutes at UFC 178. Nearly 7 years later, Poirier had the opportunity to “remove” McGregor at UFC 257 in January.
Sylvester Stallone has long been a fan of Conor McGregor. More specifically, in 2019, Conor McGregor declared that it would return to UFC on the condition that the company's shares were held. Upon hearing this news, the actor played Rocky and Rambo said he was willing to divide the stocks to the sassy boxer.
Not only that, when Conor McGregor was also involved in a stranger scandal in 2019, Stallone also shared: “This is a turn in his life. This is probably the most important thing, because if he does not live according to his ideals, if he cannot overcome fear and defeat this man, I think he will torture him throughout his life.”
