The stakes are very high for both Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier entering into this fight as the winner will face the newly crowned Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira for his first title defense.

‘The Notorious’ wants to deliver a spectacular finish in this one. He continued, “It’s going to be a devastating KO – a masterpiece. I said that before the last one and a lot of people were thinking of the short game, but I was thinking of the long game.”

“It’s the masterpiece coming now. If I would have knocked Dustin out in the second fight, I was supposed to. I knocked him out in 60 seconds the first time. Now it’s the biggest thing ever – a masterpiece.”
