“You know we’re going to do this for the third time,” he posted. Dustin poirier, in your 'Twitter'.
The response came precisely after an analysis of the defeat made by McGregor, who, through a long text, tried to recognize that he was preparing for the fight against Manny Pacquiao in boxing and challenged the North American for a trilogy.
'A bit disciplined in my approach and stance, especially in boxing. That's what I get for choosing this fight and opponent as the precursor to a boxing match against the Pacman (Manny Pacquiao) (…), a tremendous submission from my opponent, hats off! A well-fought fight for the 'Diamond'. Now it's a trilogy fight! Wow! Exciting! It wasn't a trilogy I was expecting, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't meant to be. This is exactly how it was always meant to be!”, revealed Conor, this Wednesday (3).
Dustin poirier he had raised the possibility of doing superfights and considers it to be his most notable moment within Ultimate. He is even seen as the 'guy to beat' in a category that still has uncertainty about the return of the current champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Therefore, the trilogy – including the division belt – is not ruled out.
Currently, the North American occupies first place in the lightweight rankings (up to 70,3kg). McGregor, with the defeat, dropped two positions and is in sixth place.
You know we are going to do it a 3rd time ⚔
