Conor McGregor puts his reputation on the line in an interesting risk/reward proposition
Knowing the competitor deep down in McGregor, the cheeky Irish star turning 34 a week after UFC 264, it was far from a surprise that he so vehemently sought a rematch against Poirier just six months after losing by TKO by first time in his career. in the second meeting of him. McGregor followed suit after an unexpected welterweight loss to Nate Diaz in 2016 and won a thrilling rematch (not to mention the grueling) by majority decision just five months later.
