Dustin avenged his 1st round loss to Conor when they fought in 2014 — a fight Dustin has wanted to run back for years!!
After the fight, Dustin called a 3rd fight with Conor — and bragged he’s the best boxer in the UFC.
“I just wasn’t as comfortable as I needed to be,” Conor said after the fight … insisting he’s been out of the octagon too long to compete with the best in the world.
It was McGregor’s first fight since January 2020 — when he defeated Cowboy Cerrone in a 1st round knockout.
Before that Conor got beat up by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018.
