Al Iaquinta was wrong after all.
In October, before the Dustin Poirier-Conor McGregor rematch was officially finalized, Iaquinta told me he thought Poirier had already lost the fight.
"What is that guy doing?" Iaquinta said. "What is he, Conor's fan? It's so cringy. Conor's like, 'I'll fly you over, and I'll donate my money to your charity.' I'd be like, 'Bro, I'll fly my f---ing self over and when I beat the f--- out of you, I'll donate my own money. What is this? Kumbaya? Like what the hell. Are you kidding?
