Though Joe leans towards Poirier for the trilogy he still thinks Conor can win if he checks the calf kicks.

Michael Bisping: “Who knows? They both knocked each other out, they both have tremendous skills. You know, I think because of the momentum, because of the recent knockout maybe a lean towards Dustin. But you can never underestimate Conor McGregor, as we know. And he’s a very wealthy man, he’s got untold riches. But the one thing you can’t buy is a UFC championship. And we know that Conor holds his fighting ability and his fighting reputation dear to his heart,” was Michael Bisping’s opinion.

Colby Covington: “Everybody’s talking about ‘Conman McGregor’. He’s washed up man. He has nothing left in his tank. His pride is making him fight. He has made a lot of money, but his ego won’t let him give up,” said Colby. Though the welterweight contender believes Conor does not have it to win the trilogy, he still doesn’t think highly of Dustin either. Colby believes that Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 3 will end in favour of the Louisiana boy.

Jan Blachowicz: “Dustin Poirier. Same style like in the second fight, you know, last fight. because I think McGregor is a businessman. He’s not a fighter. He’s a fighter, a good fighter. But too much business in his head. That’s why Dustin’s gonna win this fight,” predicts the light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz ahead of UFC 264.
