Let me tell you why there is so much riding on this trilogy fight -- it's not outlandish to say that the entire narrative of McGregor's athletic career could be on the line.
As of this moment, what would we say about McGregor the fighter? Not the superstar. Not the entertainer. If he were to retire right now, how would we define his athletic achievement?

Read why McGregor's legacy is on the line.
Could McGregor put title shot on hold if he beats Poirier?
If Dustin Poirier wins the UFC 264 main event, there's little doubt he'll challenge champion Charles Oliveira in his next fight. But what if Conor McGregor wins?
Will McGregor decide the time is finally right to revisit the Nate Diaz trilogy? He'd be playing with house money at that point, and I don't see why the UFC wouldn't get on board with it. What I mean is: Win or lose against Diaz, he could still fight for the 155-pound title next.
