The fight will take place on January 24
Conor McGregor is back! One of the brightest, shocking and scandalous athletes of our time is back in business. In June, Conor once again announced his retirement. But everyone understood that this was nothing more than hype and PR. And at the end of November, the Irishman signed a contract to fight Dustin Poirier. It will be hot!
Early victory of McGregor – 1.5
Early victory Poirier – 5.5
The last time McGregor entered the octagon was exactly a year ago and already in the 40th second of the fight he defeated Donald Cerrone. Considering that after the defeat from Khabib, McGregor did not fight for almost a year and a half, the return against Cerrone turned out to be as bright and spectacular as possible.
Do not forget that in 2014, McGregor and Poirier already met, and then Conor knocked out Dustin in the first round. A lot of time has passed since then. McGregor became a real world sports superstar, but Poirier grew up, won many fights and was even an interim champion after defeating Max Holloway. Alas, in September 2019, Dustin lost this title, losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov
To whom should the advantage be given? Conor is an MMA superstar and the favorite to fight. His victory over Cerrone really impressed many. But do not forget that over the past 4 years, McGregor has only fought 2 fights in MMA and his form remains a mystery. Will he have enough physics if the fight lasts 3 or more rounds? The duel against Cerrone did not give an answer to this question. And if you look at the statistics, we will see that out of 26 McGregor fights in the UFC, only two went to the fourth round.
That is why there is confidence that the Irishman will not shelve the matter and will try to solve everything in the first rounds. Well, Poirier will definitely not mind catching McGregor on the counterattack. In general, no matter who wins, the fight should not last more than three rounds. The history of a personal meeting, McGregor’s fighting style and the statistics of his fights – absolutely everything speaks in favor of this bet.
Forecast from Favbet: the fight will end in 1,2 or 3 rounds – 1.5
