LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – Long championed as the underdog, it was news to Dustin Poirier when informed that he is the gambling favorite for this Saturday’s UFC 264 bout against Conor McGregor.
“Oh yeah?” asked Poirier, speaking backstage before Thursday’s press conference. “I’ve been off social media for the last month, so I don’t even know the odds right now. I can’t focus on anything else. Not even the title. My focus is only on what’s stake this Saturday night.
The stakes are enormously high in the 264 main event. With a win, McGregor will regain his throne atop the MMA world.
