Colby Covington picks Dustin Poirier to win at UFC 264

Even though Colby Covington and Dustin Poirier have had a couple of disputes over the years as they were in the same gym before Covington left, Colby is still picking his former teammate to win against Conor Mcgregor at UFC 264.

“Yeah, he’ll probably beat Conor again,” Covington stated to MMA Fighting while appearing on What the Heck. “But, I mean, what is that saying?

“You’re beating a guy that has no motivation left in the sport. And I love Conor. He’s had a great career, done great things in the sport, but your time’s up, too. It’s obvious that you’re not training every day, it’s obvious you’re not working on your craft, it’s obvious you’re working on other business deals to line your pockets and pad your bank account.

“It’s just not the same hungry Conor from a couple of years ago. It’s a different Conor towards the end of his journey and it’s not saying much to beat him anymore.”

What do you guys think will be the winner of this fight between Conor Mcgregor and Dustin Poirier?
