Early this Sunday morning, the first battle took place on the “battle island” in Abu Dhabi in Lithuanian time. UFC 257 Pay-Per-View Tournament Featuring Former American Lightweight Champion Dustinas Poirier (27-6, 1 no winner) in the second round he eliminated the former Irish champion from two different weight classes, who returned to the cage after a year off Conorą McGregorą (22-5) and responded to him for 2014. He suffered the loss at lightweight.
“Everyone calls this a battle island, but there really is a battle hotel here. He couldn’t leave it most of the time, and the farthest place he could go was the gym. I felt like in jail and thought I should jump off the balcony. I was so tense before the fight … In the locker room, I felt like myself when I went out to the cage, but when the lights came on, I revived in the cage. It was a crucial moment. I did not meet in our first fight, and today I enjoyed the fight and had fun in the cage. There were also “dirty” languages. Conor muttered something as he attacked me with a shoulder, but I don’t remember those words. I know McGregor is a shum, so I had a good time in the cage. Conor and I know the “game” of martial arts and what a fight is. We knew we would hurt each other, but that doesn’t mean we can’t remain friends after the fight, “Poirier said.
“Great job.”
Even behind closed doors, the respect remains.

The American admitted to being surprised at how easy it was to convert C. McGregor: “The fight plan was wrestling, kicking and boxing. I wanted to apply a mixture of these elements. I was overwhelmed turning it so easily. Maybe I just chose the ideal moment for the attack. Clearly, he could feel what Conoro’s left-handed strength meant. Those punches were very fast and very strong, but over the course of the fight, it seems to me that I began to adapt and predict when I would attack. I felt that with each round, my lead would only increase. It’s hard to say if Conor was hurt by that inactivity. Everyone reacts to this differently. This time, unlike the first fight, he was not as confused or affected by Conoro’s name. In the first fight I was like a moose blinded by bright lights, and now I walked into a cage with the determination that there is also a man in front of me who can bleed like me. I worked hard and did everything in this sport except to win the belt of a true world champion. That is my main objective. I’m not running back to the cage, now I want to fly home and sell bottles of hot sauce. “
D. Peral pagyrė Michaelą Chandlerį for the victory against Dice HookerįHowever, he noted that his compatriot is still not worthy to fight for the world champion belt.
“The rookie came to the UFC, defeated an opponent I just defeated, and has a belt fight? Definitely not. Let Chandler fight Oliveira or something. Oliveira probably deserves a fight for the belt more than Gaethje, as he hasn’t had that chance yet. Maybe they should find out the relationship in the fight between them. I’d be interested in the third fight with Conor, and I’ve always wanted to kick Nate Diaz’s butt, “Poirier said.
