On July 10, in the UFC 264 Main Event match, Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor will face each other again. With what happened in the previous 2 matches, the confrontation Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 3 received a lot of expectations, including from the audience and the experts.
“Conor is still the name that attracts the most attention in the MMA sport, enough for the next match to sell more live views than any UFC event in history,” Dustin Poirier's coach, Mike Brown, said.
“Therefore, I do not think that Dustin decided to make mistakes (when I missed the opportunity to compete for the Lightweight belt). The battle of belt can always take place after that.”
Entering the third match with Dustin Poirier, many people think that Conor McGregor will have a lot of adjustments if “The Notorious” wants to win. More specifically, what to deal with Poirier's Calf Kick – what has accounted for more than 70% of the reason McGregor lost at UFC 257.
But coach Mike Brown thinks differently. He said that if McGregor only focused on supporting calf kicks, the end of the rematch would still be a defeat for him.
“Conor probably still believes that calf kicks are the main problem. But in reality I don't think Calf Kick is the whole reason Conor loses.”
“We are preparing for this match very comprehensively, and I am quite confident with my students. The fight on the floor it was a very complicated thing.”
“Calf Kick is just one of thousands of weapons, if not more, we can be used in the match. We will not only invest in a weapon, a tactic. Dustin has more plans than that.”
