Where can you find the best Poirier vs McGregor 2 odds?

UFC fans are going to be in for a treat on January 24, when Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor meet in Abu Dahbi at UFC 257. The mouth-watering clash between the two fighters is a re-match, of course, of their clash in 2014 at UFC178, and McGregor has already issued a defiant prediction full of Celtic swagger about how things will turn out this time.

“I will knock Dustin out inside 60 seconds,” McGregor said during a UFC promotional video, a prediction that may turn out to be a little rash. No one can ever accuse McGregor of a lack of self-belief, however. The last time the fighters met on that night back in 2014, McGregor won by a first-round TKO, largely thanks to a jolting left hook that set the base for a follow-up barrage of blows.

That was only McGregor’s fourth fight in UFC, but he was soon crowned as UFC interim featherweight champion when he beat Chad Mendes a year or so later. His career has exploded since then and he is now undoubtedly the world’s most famous UFC fighter. The UFC 257 odds would appear to be in his favor too.

Will ‘Mystic Mac’ get to fight the mighty Nurmagomedov again?

The Irishman did take 40 seconds to beat Donald Cerrone in his last outing in the Octagon, though, so perhaps this prediction from ‘Mystic Mac’ will not be too far wide of the mark. He should approach Poirier with care, however.

The fight could have wider implications too, with Khabib Nurmagomedov’s UFC lightweight belt possibly on the line. The Russian fighter is currently retired, but UFC president Dana White looks like he might just have tempted him back to the Octagon.

Nurmagomedov has reportedly stated that he will make a comeback if “something special” is done by either McGregor or Poirier at UFC 257. Conor McGregor versus Khabib Nurmagomedov might yet happen again. When the two fighters last met, it was Nurmagomedov, thanks to a submission via a chokehold in round four. McGregor therefore has unfinished business with the Russian, though he has to get part the formidable challenge posed by Poirier first.

The American has improved since the last time he faced McGregor back in 2014. Out of his 12 fights since then, he was won 10, and one of his defeats came against the mighty Nurmagomedov, who remains unbeaten in UFC to this day. Poirier has held title belts too, beating Max Holloway for the interim lightweight title not long after that defeat to McGregor.
