“I’m going to beat the goddamn dog shit out of him – straight up, stand-up style. None of that wrestling. I’m just going to get in your face, knee your ribs, elbow your goddamn face. It’s going to be a fight, man.”

Dustin Poirier gives his two cents on a possible fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal
After sharing the octagon with ‘The Notorious’ three times and Michael Chandler once, Dustin Poirier thinks Jorge Masvidal is a tougher fight for Conor McGregor compared to Chandler.
Despite Poirier’s strained relationship with the Irishman due to their long-standing feud, he still wants the latter to return to the club. octagon and get back to winning ways. On The Ariel Helwani Show, he said:
“I think Masvidal is slicker on the feet. He can make things happen there. I think the Chandler fight is a great matchup for Conor. I think it’s a layup. Conor is a striker, man. Masvidal is slicker on the feet; for the most part, he can roll the punches and get into the pocket with Conor much better than Chandler can. Chandler is just huge explosive moves that I think Conor is going to use the time, hurt him and put him away… Jorge is big and tall.’
