“That's a difficult question. You can flip a coin and it's like guessing who will fall first. You have a young guy who is very hungry and another guy who has made a lot of money but is also hungry. I mean, you have two guys who fluctuate psychologically, but Poirier has a big advantage”, said Stallone.

The third duel between Conor McGregor e Dustin poirier promises to make history in mixed martial arts. The fight will also be of great importance for the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg). The winner of the confrontation can compete for the category belt against the new champion and Brazilian charles do brox.

After two clashes, with one victory for each side, McGregor and Poirier will have the chance to break the tie. In the first duel, still in the featherweight category (up to 65,7kg), the Irishman emerged victorious with a knockout in the first round. In the second fight, in January of this year, it was the North American's turn to take revenge, beating the European fighter using the same method, in the second round.
