Dustin Poirier is coming off of a KO loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 178, where he was TKO’d in the first round. <\/p>\n

Leading up to the bout, McGregor and Poirier were trading verbal blows back and forth, which Poirier says adds to the disappointment of the loss.<\/p>\n

He spoke to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour <\/a> to discuss why he believes he can still beat McGregor.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if I’m ever going to be over it. It’s a loss on my record and it hurt me, but I accepted it and I am moving on and it’s just part of the journey.”<\/p>\n

“Every time I lose it hurts, but this one really hurt. I was very prepared, I didn’t cut any corners and I pushed myself harder than I ever have in the gym. I was very prepared to fight and perform well, it just didn’t go my way that night. That’s what hurt; I didn’t get to show who I am.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t know, that’s hard to say. I care about this a lot, and I always fight and get into the ring and fight very emotionally. It’s more than just a fight to me every time I fight. I don’t think it got to me, man, I just think I got caught.”<\/p>\n

“I still think I cant beat him. That night just wasn’t my night, and I didn’t get a chance to fight him. I got caught early and he put me away really quick,” <\/em><\/p>\n

“It sucks because I was prepared to fight and beat him, and I still think I can.”<\/p>\n
