10 best Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 3 predictions so far

2) Georges St-Pierre (Prediction - Conor McGregor wins)

While the odds look stacked against McGregor ahead of the trilogy fight, one of the greatest fighters on the planet believes he will get redemption against Poirier at UFC 264. In a video posted to Tristar Gym's YouTube channel, Georges St-Pierre predicted that McGregor is good in rematches and will get the job done on July 10.

GSP also gave his 'Mystic Mac' prediction for the fight, claiming McGregor will win via knockout in the second round.

“I think McGregor is very good in rematches — and I think he’s going to have the victory. I think he’s probably going to win in the second round by knockout.”

1) Khabib Nurmagomedov (Prediction - Dustin Poirier wins)

McGregor's bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov believes Poirier has a better chance of winning at UFC 264. Nurmagomedov has beaten both in the past and knows each man's strengths and weaknesses.

According to Khabib, McGregor's chances of winning are slim because he must get the job done inside one round. The longer the fight goes on, Poirier is likely to dominate proceedings.

"Like I said before, I think if it goes past the first round, well I think McGregor takes the first round. If it goes past the first, it's Poirier's," said Khabib.
