Video: Check out the tense stand-off between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier days before UFC 178

‘I’ve never disliked somebody so much that I’ve ever fought.’

‘I’ve never disliked somebody so much that I’ve ever fought.’

UFC 178 is only days away and the tension building up to the bout between our own Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier is at breaking point if the latest episode of UFC178 Embedded is anything to go by.

With all of the fighters arriving at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for a preliminary weigh-in in the latest clip, McGregor and Poirier encounter each other from across a lobby in the hotel and the atmosphere is cold to say the least.

We don’t get to see how McGregor reacts to the encounter but Poirier was certainly put out by it; needless to say his motivation to defeat the Dubliner has no doubt increased significantly since the meeting.

Bring it on.
