McGregor, who has more than 40 million followers on the social media site, returns to the octagon in the main event of the July 10 UFC pay-per-view event in a trilogy bout fight with Dustin Poirier. They’ve split their first two meetings at UFC 257 and UFC 178.
Conor McGregor looks ready for UFC 264
Former two-division champion McGregor has lost two of his last three fights, while Poirier is 6-1 in his past seven, including an interim lightweight title win over former featherweight king Max Holloway at UFC 236.
Retired and unbeaten former division titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov chimed in with his take on the fight in an interview with UFC Russia, saying McGregor could win the fight in the first round. But if the fight goes further, the advantage shifts to Poirier.

“It’s the same thing (as the previous fights). If it’s the first round, I’d back Conor. From the second and further, then Dustin,” he said.
