Dustin Poirier has shared his thoughts on the long-awaited clash between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, suggesting that ‘The Notorious’ may have squandered what was initially considered an easy win. Poirier, a long-time rival of McGregor, believes that the extensive time away from active competition could mean McGregor has lost his edge, transforming what was once seen as a ‘layup’ fight against Chandler into a significantly more difficult challenge.
This sentiment from Poirier highlights the impact of McGregor’s prolonged absence, potentially turning a perceived ‘missed opportunity’ into a genuine threat for the former two-division champion. The mixed martial arts community continues to await an official date for the highly anticipated bout, with Poirier’s comments adding another layer of intrigue to its eventual outcome.
