History of confrontation Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier
Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier has been a match for nearly ten years. The two punches had a first encounter in September 2014 in a Featherweight weight stretching match at UFC 178, and the Irish fighter McGregor won his opponent with a knock-out right in the opening half.
It was not until 6 years after the first encounter of these two punches, the two sides had a rematch. The fighter nicknamed the 'The Diamond' Dustin Poirier balanced the score 1-1 in the rematch earlier this year at UFC 257 with the TKO victory over Conor McGregor in the second half of the match.
Up to now, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have only encountered each other twice. The whole world is looking forward to every hour and every minute to the 3rd match of these two punches at 12am on 11/7 here in Vietnam.
The defeat against Poirier awakened the “monster” sleeping in the “crazy guy” McGregor, he was practicing frantically before the rematch. Perhaps now the “monster” in McGregor is very bloodthirsty and desire to win more than ever, first of all returning the resentment with Poirier earlier this year, then McGregor may challenge the defending champion Charles Oliviera for UFC's Lightweight weight -level title.
As for Dustin Poirier, it is impossible not to mention that he almost pocketed the Lightweight weight championship earlier this year, after defeating McGregor in the rematch. However, instead of choosing to pursue the championship title, Dustin Poirier accepted a different clash with McGregor, instead of confronting Charles Oliveira or other names of weight class in a belt match.
