Among other things, Miesha Tate discussed the upcoming lightweight battle between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier and gave her prediction of the fight.
Miesha Tate thinks that Dustin Poirier is the “more improved of the two” and is “on a different level” right now, and therefore can definitely cause an upset by knocking Conor McGregor out. She wondered what that would mean for the indomitable aura that Conor McGregor walks around with.

Miesha Tate: I have seen Conor McGregor get rocked
Miesha Tate heaped praise on Dustin Poirier and the improvement he has shown since his last fight with Conor McGregor. She added that the MMA world has also seen Conor get “rocked” since their last contest, and fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov has shown that there are chinks in The Notorious’ armor as well.
Tate went on to praise how Poirier went from having a limited arsenal of moves to a full-stack counterpunching, better footwork, and great head movement. On the other hand, Conor McGregor has shown his vulnerability in the fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov, Miesha Tate pointed out.
