This seems to be the bout order according to that Marcel Dorff fella on Twitter. I won’t say β€˜final’ bout order because you know by now you can’t count your chickens where these things are concerned. As it stands currently though;

You cant get 4/1 on a Poirier win. Thats hovering around the 2/1 mark. You can get 4/1 on Poirier stopping McGregor.

Yeah, my bad ... that's a product of staying up too late looking at odds. πŸ˜‚. 4/1 still decent for the stoppage though.

LOL what a shitty tease. The whole announcement is basicallyΒ "these guys gotta go out there and impress Khabib enough to come back".

I'm guessing they are hoping for a Mcgregor KO to get the rematch but christ who wants to see that again? I like bad blood in a rivalry but not when its that personal that it stops being fun.

A woman has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against UFC superstarΒ Conor McGregorΒ for alleged personal injury, her lawyer confirmed Tuesday with ESPN.

Dave Coleman, the attorney for the woman, said the suit, over events that allegedly took place in 2018, was filed Monday in the High Court in Dublin, Ireland. In addition, the woman's mother has also filed suit against McGregor, Coleman said, in a smaller claim. The attorney would provide no additional details on the case. Per the Independent, which first reported the suit, an associate of McGregor is listed as the co-defendant. "The matter is before the court," Coleman said.

This situation was the subject of an investigation by An Garda SΓ­ochΓ‘na, the national police service of the Republic of Ireland, but there were no charges brought against McGregor and McGregor has denied any wrongdoing, the Independent reported. "After an exhaustive investigation conducted by the GardaΓ­ which, in addition to interviews of the plaintiff, included interviewing numerous sources, obtaining witnesses' statements, examining closed circuit footage and the cooperation of Conor McGregor, these allegations were categorically rejected," McGregor spokesperson Karen Kessler said in a statement. "The plaintiff knows the facts contradict the assertions in this lawsuit. Mr. McGregor will dispute any claims and is confident that justice will prevail."

McGregor, one of the most popular athletes in the world, returns to the Octagon in a main event fight againstΒ Dustin PoirierΒ at UFC 257 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. It will be McGregor's first bout since UFC 246 in January 2020. When asked, Coleman said there was "no specific reason" for the timing of the lawsuit being filed. The New York Times reported in 2019 that McGregor was the subject of two sexual assault investigations, though charges have not been brought and it's unclear if those investigations are still open.

McGregor has had several run-ins with the law over the years. He was arrested in Brooklyn after throwing a dolly at a UFC bus after a media day in 2018 and he was fined 1,000 euros in Dublin court in 2019 for punching a man in the face at a pub, an assault that was caught on video.

ESPN's Ariel Helwani contributed to this report.

This is as close to trash talk as you’re going to getΒ from Joanne Calderwood;

Also, what is it with McGregor fans and their obsession with all his opponents being terrified of him? Every single opponent. It’s not enough that they think McGregor wins the fight, the other guy has to be shitting himself as well. Then you watch the interview and it’s just the same old Dustin Poirier. Full on looking for things that aren’t there.Β
