Conor McGregor appreciates the skillset of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder trilogy while taking a dig at Dustin Poirier
While appreciating the epic trilogy fight that took place between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, Conor McGregor also took a shot at Dustin Poirier. Speaking about his first tweet, The Irishman praised the fight and called both Wilder and Fury as winners. The Notorious also gave his thoughts about the match and agreed with Deontay Wilder regarding the weight difference.
Great fight that. Both warriors, both winners. Hard to not be impressed with Deontay there. Against the much larger man and almost got it done. Great fight. 40lb’s in weight difference is A LOT. Fair play both men there, very enjoyable fights they have had together. Respect.

However, the Irishman brought Poirier into the conversation in his next tweet as he called him fake for celebrating his UFC 264 trilogy victory which ended with Conor being unable to continue due to a leg injury.
Their skill levels are unique but very close. A great heavyweight trilogy that was. I love when it gets set for certain and both have an honorable showing. Not the fam in the ring fake celebrating after a freak injury etc etc you know the gig, God bless the real in this world.
