Poirier adds, “It grows my platform, it grows the things that’s attached to my platform, with my charity and other businesses. It’s good business but at the same time, we got to see when he comes back, how he looks, and where I’m at in the race to the title.”

Conor McGregor labels himself as, “The money fight” and we can see his influence on UFC and the brands that sponsor it.

The history between the two lightweight fighters

In the last match for McGregor, Conor had to be hospitalized as he had suffered a broken leg in his first-round TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

Poirier said McGregor initially injured the leg earlier in the bout checking a kick.

“He fractured it in one of the checks earlier in the fight and it broke on a punch,” he said.

“When I pointed at it at the beginning of the fight, that’s when he did it. I felt something. He was kicking me hard.”

However, McGregor believes that the fight hadn’t ended. He still wants to take Poirier on, “I was boxing the bleedin head off him” adding “(He) dived aside to close the distance. This is not over. If I have to take this outside with him, it’s on. I don’t give a bollocks.”

Conor McGregor also later revealed in a tweet that it was following the Nate Diaz fight that problems with his shin began.
