Firas Zahabi isn’t giving Dustin Poirier no chance against Conor McGregor at UFC 257, but the Tristar head believes ‘The Notorious’ will have a sizeable 60-40 advantage over ‘The Diamond’ on fight night.
McGregor, who has predicted a 60-second KO finish, TKO’d Poirier in the first round of their 2014 featherweight matchup at UFC 178 and Zahabi believes the Irishman will pull off a similar feat at UFC 257, predicting another early KO victory for the Irishman.
Zahabi, who used to coach former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre, believes McGregor’s striking is simply on another level to Poirier’s.
