Conor McGregor v Dustin Poirier: Notorious Fires UFC 264 Fight Warning at The Diamond

Conor McGregor has promised to avenge his loss to Dustin Poirier in a rematch at UFC 264 in Las Vegas on Saturday.

McGregor and Poirier were originally scheduled for a high-stakes shootout this summer, but an agreement seemed to be on the verge of falling apart when UFC president Dana White announced the trilogy battle is now set for July 10.

‘The Notorious’ is the longtime UFC lightweight champion, a title previously owned by the recently retired Khabib Nurmagomedov, and is ready to stake his name by facing Poirier in just his fourth 155-pound fight.

McGregor (22-5), 32, ended Poirier, also 32, with punches in the first round of their featherweight battle at UFC 178, before falling in a shocking shock at UFC 257 nearly seven years later.

The Irishman may be considered a marginal underdog by some bookmakers going into this contest, but he has alerted the former UFC interim lightweight champion in a social media message that he is out for vengeance.

‘I would do this totally flawlessly on July 10th,’ McGregor posted on Twitter. ‘We’ve got these clowns all figured out!’

‘Do they like to play a strategy game?’ ‘No worries, I’ll see you in there.’

‘You’ve unleashed a beast. A beast with the help of a much greater force!

‘Pray for me.’

Poirier, who boosted his record to 27-6 (1 NC) by knocking out McGregor in the second round in January, replied by tweeting, ‘Let hard work be thy medicine.’

The rivalry between McGregor and Poirier is heating up nicely ahead of their much-anticipated battle.

Poirier is currently enrolled in a training camp at American Top Team, where he is practicing for the impending fight.

Meanwhile, McGregor has been training at the UFC Gym in Abu Dhabi.

As he prepares for his UFC return, he seems to be in fantastic form.
