‘You’ve awoken a beast’: Conor McGregor says he has Dustin Poirier ‘sussed’ ahead of July rematch

The eyes of the mixed martial arts world will be keenly fixed to the July 10th rubber match between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier in what will be a pivotal bout in the UFC’s lightweight fold.

With the scores between the two 155-pound rivals currently standing at one apiece, McGregor has promised a “flawless” performance when the two men square off in the UFC 264 main event in front of a capacity crowd inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

July 10th I will do this absolutely flawlessly. We have these clowns sussed and fully! 🤡 🤡 🤡 💣
They wanna play a game of tactics?
No problem, see you in there.
You’ve awoken a beast.
A beast with the backing of a much higher power!
Say your prayers 🙏

“July 10th I will do this absolutely flawlessly,” McGregor wrote on Twitter. “We have these clowns sussed and fully! They wanna play a game of tactics? No problem, see you in there. You’ve awoken a beast. A beast with the backing of a much higher power! Say your prayers.”

The winner of the July fight won’t just just gain bragging rights in the pair’s years-long rivalry, but will be well placed to challenge the winner of this month’s showdown for the vacant world title between Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira.
