Seven years later, they met at UFC 257 in January 2021 and this time, Poirier returned the favor with a second-round TKO.

Say your prayers<\/em><\/p>\n<p>McGregor needs to get the win in this fight after dropping his last contest to Poirier. Both men need the win given what it would mean for their legacy, but for McGregor, another loss would be his second straight defeat and his third loss in his last four fights, so it&#8217;s imperative that he wins this match, especially if he wants to remain a massive draw. There is a huge appetite for this trilogy bout given they are 1-1 so far in the first two fights, so this third fight figures to be one of the biggest matchups we will see in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Conor McGregor will win the trilogy against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC lightweight superstar Conor McGregor sent a message to rival Dustin Poirier ahead of UFC 264, saying that &#8220;you\u2019ve awoken a beast.
