White: Conor McGregor Taking Poirier Trilogy Fight 'A Lot More Serious' Than 2nd Bout

Dana White has a message for Dustin Poirier: Expect a different Conor McGregor this time around.

The UFC president told The Mac Life that McGregor looks far more focused coming into Saturday's bout than he did in his loss to Poirier in January.

“Conor looked damn good in that first round [against Poirier]. I don’t know how well he prepared for that fight,” White said. “I don’t know what he did. I don’t know the difference between his training camp for that fight or this fight.

“I can tell you this: From what I can see, he’s taking this fight a lot more serious than he did the last fight.
