Poirier sat down with Michael Bisping ahead of his rematch with McGregor at UFC 264 on Saturday, July 10, 2021, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. During their interview, Poirier turned into the psychic, predicting how he anticipates the fight will end. (H/T MiddleEasy.com)

“I’m not sure if I’m gonna knock him out,” Poirier said. “It could be a stoppage by strikes, we’ll see. For some reason, I really have a feeling I’m going to submit him.”

The bold statement came at the end of an insightful interview with the Diamond. Poirier was candid about the challenges he’d previously experienced when dealing with McGregor’s infamous trash talking and what he believes it actually means now.

“Like, I said it talking to Brett [Okamoto], I feel [Conor’s] insecurity. You know, he’s worried the pressure’s on him. This is just another fight for me,” Poirier said. “Of course, it’s a big one. But [for] him, everything he’s built himself up to? You know, you go out there and get beat up twice by me, get stopped again, I mean, it’s not good. It’s not good for business.”

Insecurity is not good for business, and Poirier understands that he must deliver the performance of his career. But what happens if Poirier does the impossible and beats McGregor twice? Simple. Current lightweight champion Charles Oliveira will have the number one contender knocking at his door and we will likely see them fight before the end of the year.

“That’s the only fight [Oliveira],” Poirier said. “If I get my hand raised Saturday, that’s the only fight.”

Whether you’re a fan of Poirier or a fan of McGregor, one thing is for sure. The winner will be facing the current lightweight king next. But before a lightweight championship fight towards the end of the year, fans will get to enjoy fireworks between Poirier and McGregor in what will arguably be the biggest fight in 2021.

Conor McGregor Charges at Dustin Poirier Before UFC 264 Presser

Conor McGregor Dustin PoirierConor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have had their fair share of back-and-forths since their last bout at UFC 257.

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have had their fair share of back-and-forths since their last bout at UFC 257. Their highly-anticipated UFC 264 pre-fight press conference featured everything from wife jokes to “McGregor FAST” mockery, and before the war of words, McGregor attempted to start a fight with Poirier just two days away from their trilogy.

As the two UFC lightweight contenders made their way to the stage at T-Mobile Arena to answer questions from members of the media, McGregor charged at Poirier shortly after tossing bottles of his hot sauce into the crowd of fans. UFC president Dana White had to separate the two for a couple of minutes before the press conference could begin.

The trilogy between McGregor and Poirier is without question one of the biggest trilogies in combat sports history, and arguably the biggest in the history of the UFC. Couture vs. Liddell, Cormier vs. Miocic, and Edgar vs. Maynard are just a few of the matchups that come to mind in comparison.

After the buildup to their last fight which was relatively tranquil in comparison, it appears that the love between the two is all but lost ahead of their massive fight. Despite McGregor’s barrage of insults and verbal assaults, Poirier remained relatively unbothered by the extracurriculars that come with a McGregor fight.

The winner of the McGregor-Poirier trilogy is pretty much confirmed to get the next shot at UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira’s title. Oliveira earned the vacant belt over Michael Chandler at UFC 262 earlier this year.

If Poirier wins the trilogy, his name will need to be in the books as one of the greatest UFC lightweights in the promotion’s history, especially if he’s able to earn the belt over Oliveira. If McGregor wins, his superstardom and career comeback will be fully realized as he attempts to get ready to earn a second reign as the lightweight champion.

Who do you think won the verbal warfare at UFC 264 pre-fight press conference?
