think it's going to be a great fight. Two amazing fighters. Nate Diaz is as tough as they come. Dustin Poirier took that loss on the chin, came back, has showcased mental strength and has had some great, phenomenal fights inside the Octagon. I'm very, very much looking forward to it. We'll see what happens. I wish both men the best of luck and we'll see."- McGregor stated.
