Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Porier shared his prediction for the upcoming bout between former two-division titleholder Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.
"If Conor is going to be who he was before the injury and stuff, two rounds will be enough for him. I think this fight will be over before the end of the second round," Puryear said on the air of the show The MMA Hour.
Recall that the fight between McGregor and Chandler will be the main event of the UFC 303 tournament, which will take place on June 29 in Las Vegas.

The American and the Dagestani will meet in the main event of the UFC 302 show, scheduled for June 1 in Newark, USA.
"As soon as Tsarukyan defeated Oliveira, I got a call from Hunter Campbell and said: "The fight just ended. I'm going to Tsarukyan's locker room right now, I'll call you back in an hour." It turns out that he then offered Arman a fight with Islam in six weeks. And I perfectly understand Arman's decision to refuse.
And to be honest, six weeks is rather short notice for me too. But I didn't have the option to turn it down and say, "Hey, I need more time to prepare." This is my chance that I have to hold on to as tightly as possible," MMA Mania quoted Porier as saying.

"Sometimes it seems like Islam doesn't respect me. I'll go into the octagon to hurt him. And he said it's an easy fight for him. Maybe he feels that way about all fights. But I can knock out any lightweight in the world.
When I lost to Charles and I was asked about my future, I said I still believe in myself. If I want something, I'll get it. And here I am again, a contender. But right now I'm not thinking about what comes next. Now my goal is to finish my story beautifully," - quotes Porier MMA Fighting.
