"Conor is definitely the real deal. I've had 22 fights and I've never been put out like that. There are a lot of reasons why it went wrong for me, but he was just better that night." "I don't believe in calling shots 'lucky' because he threw it, I moved, and I got hit by it. It was a well-placed, well thought-out punch that he threw. It hit me and I went down early."Despite having nothing but good things to say about the Dubliner's ability, Poirier still thinks a rematch at lightweight would have a very different outcome.
"I am 100 percent willing to fight Conor again, because the first time, we didn't really get the chance to fight. He hit me with a good shot and I went down. I'd love to do it again." "It would be a different fight at 145 pounds, and definitely if he comes up to 155. I wouldn't get hit with that shot again, and I wouldn't let myself get so emotional. I know I could beat him - I'm a better fighter than I showed last time."Interestingly, Poirier is also confident that McGregor will live up to the hype yet again and defeat Jose Aldo at UFC 194.
"It's a really competitive fight and hard to call but I think Conor will win using footwork and striking."Here's hoping, Dustin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRWY8e9EMmY
