The big UMA 257 MMA tournament will take place in the United Arab Emirates next week, with the Irish fighting in the main event. You will meet McGregoras and american Dustinas Poirier.

Before the fight, the reigning UFC champion added kerosene to the fire. Chabibas Nurmagomedovas. He said he would follow McGregor and Poirier closely and Michael Chandler and Dano Hookerio March. If any of them put on an impressive performance, Ch.Nurmagomedov can once again defend the belt. It’s true, C. McGregor, speaking to an ESPN reporter Arieliu helwani, assured that he still considers himself the champion and not Ch.Nurmagomedov.

“I am a champion. Did you know that the ‘joined’ belt was not delivered in 2018? In October? Chabib then escaped from the cage and left me there to fight with his family members.” The ceremony, which is normal afterwards. of the fight, it didn’t happen then, so I still feel like a champion and I’m going to show it with my performance, “explained C. McGregor.

Ireland noted that the field against the fight against Poirier is even more serious than the fight against Donaldu Cerrone’u. C. McGregor not only does not consume alcohol, but also follows a strict diet plan, as this time the fight will not take place in the middleweight category but in the lightweight category, so the Irish have to lose kilos.

“It used to be very difficult because I drank a lot of whiskey during training camps. Limiting calories, strenuous workouts, and alcohol are not a good combination. I did not drink my liquid during the entire camp, no matter how hard it was. Sure, I did try it a bit at Christmas, but then I licked my lips and made sure my piece blossomed even more. After the fight, he’ll probably raise a glass of whiskey. Although maybe not, the local time fight will be very early, I will probably go to the cage at 9pm tomorrow, so after the fight you will need real Irish coffee and American pancakes. I missed them so much, “McGregor said.

Ireland had hoped to fight 3 times in a UFC cage last year, but their plans were thwarted by a coronavirus pandemic. This year, C. McGregor’s plan is similar: he expects 3-4 fights, but does not rule out that one of them could take place against the Filipino. Manny pacquiao.

C. McGregor owns virtually all UFC viewing records. He hopes the Poirier fight will also be financially successful, although he acknowledges that it will be difficult to reach 80 million. The dollar amount he talked about last year before the Cowboy fight.

“No, then 80 million. I didn’t understand it. So I won a good amount, but you could argue that I had to get more knowing what it would bring, but it is not impossible to reach that amount in the future. I think the fight against Dustin in the pay-per-view platform will buy 1.8-2 million. together. Maybe 1.6 million. The fight should be really successful, “added McGregor.
