“The American Gangster” believes that while Poirier has undeniably gotten better, McGregor is yet to achieve his prime.
The former UFC middleweight further referred to McGregor’s remarkable performance against Donald Cerrone and stated that if the Irishman is able to thrive on his natural gifts without doing his utmost, he will feasibly improve himself even more in the coming time.
Chael Sonnen believes it’s hard to evaluate how much McGregor has changed in the past six years
Chael Sonnen also added that Dustin Poirier has improved himself significantly since he last fought Conor McGregor, thanks to the string of fights he was involved in against the likes of Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethe, Max Holloway and Khabib Nurmagomedov to name a few.
However, the 43-year-old believes that it’s tough to ascertain McGregor’s development because we haven’t seen enough of him and ‘The Notorious’ is only getting better, given his last performance against Donald Cerrone.
While Sonnen has put forth a valid point, it will be interesting to see what McGregor has got under his belt when he locks horns with Poirier. In a fight that will most likely have title implications, The Notorious and The Diamond will be looking to leave no stone unturned in their preparation for the super-fight.
