Conor McGregor is set to start training for the trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier
While McGregor will be overjoyed with the birth of Rian, he will not be able to celebrate the occasion properly at the moment. McGregor is scheduled to take on Dustin Poirier in an all-important trilogy fight in July and will soon begin training. If he wants to stay in the title picture, the fight against Poirier is a must-win for the Irishman.
McGregor has competed just thrice since 2018 and was able to emerge victorious on just one occasion. To remain relevant and still be regarded as one of the best fighters in the world, McGregor must overcome his opponent in July.
