Who is Conor McGregor and why should you bet on him?
Conor McGregor might be the most famous fighter in this sport of all time. He is famous not only for his technical skills and strength, but also for his controversial and aggressive behaviour. However, that does not change the fact that Conor McGregor has millions of fans all over the world who watch his fights and bet money on his win.
What are the predictions for the next McGregor`s fight?
The third fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will take place on July 10 at UFC 264 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In the first fight on September 27, 2014, the Irishman won by technical knockout in the first round. The second meeting – January 23, 2021 – also ended with a technical knockout, but from Dustin in the second round.
Despite being defeated at UFC 257, Conor is once again the bookmaker’s favorite. Considering the outcomes of the past two fights, bookmakers have no doubts that the final fight of the trilogy will end ahead of schedule. Both fighters are excellent punchers who are unlikely to be careful and bring the meeting to the counting of cards. Conor MacGregor, as always, pampers fans with new workout photos. He is not depressed, but on the contrary, charged with revenge. He hardly needs the UFC belt, but he definitely wants to shine in the trilogy.
However, McGregor should not think that an easy victory awaits him, and the close odds of the bookmakers confirm this. Conor can be considered the favorite, but with a minimal advantage of 53 to 47 in percentage terms. His accuracy and speed are still at a high level, and with competent defense, they will be enough to outplay the very straightforward Porier, who is unlikely to show anything new. Rumors about McGregor’s retirement have been circulating for awhile, but this time it can be the truth. So, he will definitely put maximum effort in this fight.
McGregor knows this is his last opportunity to make a name for himself and preserve his sport legacy. In case of defeat, there will be no other chance.
