Dustin Poirier still respects Conor McGregor and his skillset
After three fights and even insults against his wife, Dustin Poirier still gave Conor McGregor his props.
McGregor got in Poirier’s head the first time around, but when they met for a second time in 2021 the Irishman was far more respectful. “Conor McGregor, no doubt about it,” Poirier said in reference to the hardest puncher he’s fought. “As the biggest puncher I’ve fought? Yeah. He’s a special individual for sure. “Fought him in 2014 – lost. That was when his trajectory was… sky’s the limit. He was on his way up, tore through everybody and he became a two-weight world champion.
Although there was seven years for Poirier to improve in between the first and second fights, the 33-year-old believes it was a change in his mental outlook that changed the result.
