As the hangover from UFC 263 begins to dissipate, it’s time to start thinking about UFC 264, the highly anticipated trilogy between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.
A duel that for many was a surprise when it was announced, but that has a lot at stake. Beyond closing out the Poirier-McGregor rivalry, the bout will shape the future of the UFC 155-pound ranks. The winner of the bout will be the next contender for the lightweight title.
Conor McGregor says he’s focused and confident of beating Dustin Poirier
Dustin had in his hands the opportunity to dispute the title against Charles Oliveira. However, he preferred to go for the trilogy against McGregor. Poirier repeatedly explained that he was in no hurry to become champion. That’s why he decided to step aside and go for another million-dollar fight against the Irishman.
UFC did not hesitate for a moment and now, without having many recent merits, its top star is on the verge of contesting a championship again. All he has to do is beat the very tough Dustin Poirier. Conor McGregor knows the importance of what is at stake. The Irishman says he is focused and ready to avenge his defeat and take the trilogy.
“All the marbles are on the line here. I’m training very, very hard. I feel very confident. I beat him in the original fight. I lost in the rematch, and now we have the trilogy. I have some small adjustments to make. I feel very, very confident. I’m very focused and motivated. I’m going out there to deliver an incredible performance and win again on July 10.”
