Colby Covington: Dustin Poirier ‘probably’ beats Conor McGregor at UFC 264, but ‘it’s not saying much to beat him anymore’

There’s certainly no love lost between former teammates Colby Covington and Dustin Poirier. However, he’s still picking his foe to put a bow on his trilogy with Conor McGregor on July 10.

Poirier and McGregor will compete in a five-round main event bout at UFC 264. The event takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas where “The Diamond” will look to make it two straight against the former two-division champion after stopping McGregor in the second-round at UFC 257 in January.

When asked to give his thoughts on the fight between Poirier and McGregor, “Chaos” is leaning towards his former American Top Team teammate, although Covington doesn’t believe a win will be anything to write home about.
