Both fighters have a common opponent or two on their resumes but the one that stands out the most is the former lightweight and featherweight champion, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighter\/conor-mcgregor\/\">Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>McGregor and his next opponent for UFC 229 on October 6, the current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov took center stage on Thursday to appear in a <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-ufc-229-khabib-nurmagomedov-vs-conor-mcgregor-press-conference-live-stream\/\">pre-fight press conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was filled with barbs being traded between the two, there was also praise given by McGregor when asked about the matchup between Poirier and Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>For Diaz, his last two bouts came against &#8216;The Notorious&#8217;. The first coming in March 2016 when Diaz stepped in for the then lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos on short notice. Diaz would score the big upset via second-round submission to become the first man to defeat McGregor in the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>They rematched a few months later and McGregor would edge out the majority decision win. Poirier&#8217;s clash with the Irishman took place in 2014 in the featherweight division where &#8216;The Diamond&#8217; would lose via first-round TKO. He moved back up to 155-pounds afterward and has gone 8-1 and 1 no contest since.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 9\/20\/2018<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#39;s not just Conor McGregor that&#39;s looking forward to @DustinPoirier vs. @NateDiaz209 at #UFC230!
