Now that Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2 is official, we can take what both men say with a little less grain of salt. Anything can still happen, but right now the UFC says the fight will go ahead on January 23 at UFC 257.
With the fight on the horizon (probably), Poirier spoke to MMA Junkie about the rematch and about the first time he tangled with the Dubliner.
“I was emotional in the first one,” admitted Poirier. I wanted to hurt the guy. This time I just want to outsmart him, just want to beat him.
