Dana White sees McGregor more focused for trilogy against Poirier at UFC 264

“He will be considered one of the greatest of all time (if he wins his next two fights). Having lost the belt and having gone through the things he went through personally, professionally, coming back and beating the number one contender (at lightweight), who just beat him, and then winning the title fight? Financially, it's incredible. Professionally, it's incredible,” said White, in an interview with 'ESPN'.

focused on UFC 264, which takes place this Saturday (10), Dana does not hide his excitement for the main fight at the weekend. For the president, the confrontation between McGregor and Dustin poirier means much more than a historic and profitable trilogy for the organization.

“A lot is at stake in this fight and I love it. The big question about Conor now is that he has so much money and people question 'Is he the same Conor? Is he focused?'. We know he loves to fight. He doesn't need to fight now. He is fighting because he loves. If he wins Dustin poirier, he might have a title shot. And as for Poirier, criticized for accepting this fight instead of the belt, he did the right thing. If he wins Saturday, he will have a chance at the title anyway,” he concluded.
