Former UFC analyst and commentator Dan Hardy thinks Conor McGregor is a ‘better martial artist’ than Dustin Poirier, labelling the Irishman a true master of his craft ahead of the pair’s upcoming trilogy bout at UFC 264.
Hardy, who correctly predicted that Poirier would utilize calf kicks to devastating success against McGregor at UFC 257, thinks ‘The Notorious’ is the superior technician but questions whether the former champ champ is as hungry as he once was.
“I do think he’s a better martial artist just generally than Poirier. I think he’s got a better mastery of range and striking, a better understanding of the application of martial arts and how to work somebody over psychologically as well,” Hardy told Submission Radio in a recent interview (h/t Sportskeeda).
