“Conor is the best challenge in this sport. I think this will be the best-selling pay-per-view in history, more than any other fight. It will be the greatest of all time. It has potential and will probably be (the biggest in history)”, said Brown, in an interview with 'MMA Junkie'.
After seeing his pupil defeat one of the biggest names in MMA history in January, Mike is ready to see history rewritten. According to the coach, Poirier doesn't just have the famous 'calf kick' as a weapon to beat McGregor. For the coach, the North American will be able to show even more in the new duel.
“I think Conor thinks the calf kicks were the biggest problems. It wasn't the calf kick that knocked him out. (…) This is just one of thousands of weapons, or more. We're just talking about one feature. Dustin has a lot of them,” he concluded.
Standouts in the lightweight division, McGregor and Poirier have a lot at stake in the UFC 264. In addition to putting an end to a historic trilogy, the winner will be able to win the right to challenge the new champion of the category, Charles of the Bronx.
