Khabib Nurmagomedov’s former coach Javier Mendez believes Dustin Poirier will break Conor McGregor’s will at UFC 264, claiming that ‘The Diamond’ will take the fight to ‘The Notorious’ and run straight through him.
“Dustin wins by basically breaking Conor down – I can see that happening,” Mendez, who coached Khabib to victory against McGregor at UFC 229, told MyBettingSites in an exclusive interview. “Dustin comes in and goes at him, breaks him down, break his will. That’s how I see it happening. Dustin comes in and just breaks him down, takes what he has and more or less says ‘here, I’m giving it you back two-fold’.
