Conor McGregor meets Dustin Poirier for the third time in his career this Saturday night at UFC 264. The pair first tangled back in 2014 with McGregor getting the best of ‘The Diamond’. This January, it was Poirier’s turn, with the American handing ‘Notorious’ his first ever MMA loss to strikes.
As their high-profile rubber match approaches we’ve seen McGregor resort to his usual tactics of trying to get under his opponent’s skin, likely with hopes that this will somehow play a factor when the cage door closes.
The other day McGregor’s attempt misfired, when he shared a screenshot of a message request from Poirier’s wife on Instagram.
