Dustin Poirier’s boxing coach Dyah Davis believes ‘The Diamond’s’ upcoming trilogy bout with Conor McGregor will play almost identically to their Jan. 2021 rematch, with the ex-boxer predicting another highlight reel KO victory against the Irishman, this time in the third round.
Davis, who trains Poirier at American Top Team’s Coconut Creek facility in Fla., hinted that ‘The Diamond’ could utilize the same calf kicks he used at UFC 257 to wear ‘The Notorious’ down before setting up the KO.
“I take this approach as if a lumberjack, we’re in a forest,” Davis told MMA Junkie in a recent interview.
