JAKARTA - Conor McGregor is scheduled to face Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. This trilogy battle comes just 6 months after Poirier beat McGregor by TKO in the second round, and nearly seven years after their first encounter which McGregor won by TKO in the first round.

Many argue that this fight should be won by The Notorious. He should have a chance to reclaim the UFC lightweight title, currently held by Brazil's Charles Oliveira.

UFC 264 takes place on July 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Nevada and will be an exciting night of battle.

Alongside McGregor vs. Poirier III, the welterweight match between Gilbert Burns and Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson is scheduled to be featured in the co-play event slot.

Sean O'Malley and Kevin Lee are also expected to return to battle, taking on Louis Smolka and Sean Brady respectively.

Meanwhile former NFL player Greg Hardy will make his ninth trip to the UFC octagon against fan favorite Tai Tuivasa in a heavyweight battle.

In a lengthy discussion on Mike Tyson's podcast, former fighter Ali Abdelaziz discusses Jake Paul's future in combat sports, the possible UFC heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou and the legacy of Georges St-Pierre.

However, the man who now works as a manager and promoter of mixed martial arts (MMA) saved his most controversial opinion at the end of the interview. As the topic shifted to UFC's light division, he headed straight for McGregor, completely ignoring his chances against Poirier and labeling him a "high-class whore."

"Now there is McGregor against Dustin Poirier. McGregor will probably lose again, because he is a person who gives up easily," said Abdelaziz.

"She's like a high-class whore. Now people want to date her to show, 'Hey, I have a beautiful girl.' She (McGregor) is a beautiful girl and once you're with her you can show other girls and say 'Hey , I have this beautiful girl. You want to date me? '

"It means the fighters, they fight it, and they get the influence. But they don't understand that Conor McGregor hasn't won in three years.

"But you still made money against Conor McGregor despite the draw. But how long will this last?"

Abdelaziz has clashed repeatedly with McGregor in the past. He represents some of UFC's biggest stars such as Kamaru Usman, Khamzat Chimaev, and retired Khabib Nurmagomedov.
