The winner will have a lead over the other.

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier face each other in the main event of UFC 264 on July 10. The lightweight bout tops the latest PPV card from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and it will take place in front of a large crowd. Much has changed following McGregor and Poirer first match back in 2014.

The million-dollar question at the moment is 'who's gonna win this time'? Considering the extra heat after all the Twitter drama between McGregor and Poirer, it would be safe to say that the odds are 50/50 in the upcoming fight. The Twitter drama just gives this fight a personal angle since McGregor had promised he would make a $500,000 donation to Poirier's Good Fight Foundation. When the promised donation was delayed, Poirier took to Twitter that kicked off the back-and-forth war of words between the two.

Opinions on Twitter are swinging in favor of McGregor with fans predicting a 'clean KO' win against Poirer.

However, some fans seemed to think that Dustin is hugely 'underrated' and might surprise them. One fan commented, "Rly think Dustin is getting severely undervalued here and probably think the line ends up moving in favour of Dustin Dustin is way better than he was at featherweight when they first fought all those years ago."

One fan said, "I’ve had a hard time deciding my prediction for July 10th but I’ve come to my senses. Dustin Poirier will finish Conor McGregor via 4th round submission." Another wrote, "I’m going to hate the build up to Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor 3, I just hope Dustin closes the rivalry with a win."
