Conor McGregor is just a few days away from one of the biggest fights of his pro career and he seems to be in good spirits.

Chiefly, the Irishman hasn’t been the dominant force inside the cage-like he once was, and the rubber match is going to be legacy-defining. If he manages to stop Poirier and win the trilogy, there’s no ceiling on the hype he will generate. Not to mention, McGregor will most likely stroll into a title fight against Charles Oliveira in his next outing.
