McGregor must first pass the American puncher Dustin Poirier at the upcoming UFC 264 to be able to be able to play the main language to compete with the current champion Charles Oliveira to get the Lightweight Championship Lightweight last May.
Despite not fighting Dustin Poirier, the Irish fighter planned the championship match in December at Allegiant Stadium with a capacity of 65,000 spectators in Las Vegas.
“Allegiant Stadium is the location we are planning. Maybe I will compete for Christmas.” – McGregor answered The maclife.
“That world championship will be struggled at this Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, all of my head. I am aiming at my 20th Knock-out victory at the UFC 264 event and I will be the twelve Lightweight Champion of the twelve this year.”
McGregor admitted he had despised his opponent at UFC 257 earlier this year and received a bitter end but this fist was frantically practicing to defeat Poirier again.
Earlier Phil Sucliffe – the head coach of the Crumlin British Club, who practiced Boxing with McGregor with the goal of the match with the legendary Manny Pacquiao this year.
“85% of the practice time for boxing, we are aiming at the match with the boxer Manny Pacquiao. It will be a charity match that has nothing to do with UFC so I want to support McGregor.” – Sucliffe said.
However, McGregor has stopped practicing boxing with coach Phil Sucliffe to focus all the time and spirit in MMA training.
McGregor is locking himself in a remote training camp in California with a number of veteran coaches including Owen Roddy and John Kavanagh, as well as the top puncher of Bellator Peter Queildly.
