Many UFC Fighters have given their thoughts about the upcoming Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier fight. We will take a look at some of them.
Former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov noted that if the fight goes beyond the first round, then Dustin Poirier will win the fight.
"Like I said before, I think if it goes past the first round, well I think McGregor takes the first round. If it goes past the first, it's Poirier's," noted the former UFC champion.
UFC legend and former UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre said that Conor McGregor will win by a second-round knockout.
“I think McGregor is very good in rematches — and I think he’s going to have the victory. I think he’s probably going to win in the second round by knockout,” GSP said.
Sean O’Malley, who will be fighting on the main card, said that Conor might win the fight as well.
"I haven't been able to really get a visual of how I see that fight playing out. You know, Conor Looked good in that fight. he looked fast, he looked focused, he looked sharp. Dustin landed the bigger shots and put his lights out but I don't think there's a lack of motivation from Conor. He looked good going into that fight and I'm a big fan of both of them. I'd like to see Conor win and see who he fights next,” Sean O’Malley said.
Khabib’s Coach Javier Mendez, UFC fighter Mike Perry and Dan Hooker picked Dustin Poirier when Artem Lobov picked Conor McGregor.
"It's not as simple as 'aw I'll just pick my leg up and turn.' He's got to adjust his whole stance. I would say adjusting your stance is the hardest thing a fighter can do. You can pick up new techniques, but adjusting your stance. Conor McGregor has always been southpaw, he's always been like super side on and always has his left hand super low,” Dan Hooker noted (H/T SportsKeeda)
Meanwhile, Javier Mendes had the following to say.
"I definitely think he can do it. Because I think the calf kicks were the deciding factor, and the second deciding factor was when Conor put a good one on Dustin, and Dustin took it. That's when he said, oh, I can take your shots. I'm a give you some of mine. I'm gonna go with Dustin because I like Dustin and I'm not a fan of Conor. I can never be a fan of Conor. I'm never a fan of his, never. I never want him to win so it is what it is. He doesn't want my guys to win I don't want him to win. Tough, it is what it is. I'm going with Dustin. A lot because I think he can do it. But also because I don't like the other guy,” he said.
