Jul. Nine 2021, Published 11:30 a.m. ET

Conor McGregor is well essentially the most successful prize fighter in mixed martial arts. The Irish pugilist was in a position to make use of his brash personality, daring battle predictions, and highlight-reel early knockout victories that made him appear to be a actually ambitious fighter who received in a spectacular style.

He was so widespread that he controlled to nab a skilled boxing fit in opposition to the undefeated Floyd Mayweather despite having zero professional fisticuffs bouts.

But despite the fact that Conor's success is a rarity in the struggle industry, there is a minimum of a technique he is very similar to other warring parties: the want to get some new teeth.

Did Conor McGregor get new teeth?

The mixed martial artist grew to become whiskey founder turned boxer turned clothes line manufacturer has been smiling a heck of a lot more in his social media posts. The rigors of day by day sparring, even with a mouthguard, can leave one's teeth seriously jacked up. Chipping chompers, frustrating the ivories, and mangling the mandibles is just a foregone conclusion.

So it's understandable when warring parties take some of their income to go to a dentist and get their teeth fixed, as Conor did — which he seemingly confirmed on this April 2021 Instagram video, with the caption: "Hey guys, I decided to match my smile to my bank account."

Some persons are wondering the timing of Conor McGregor's resolution to get his teeth fixed, as it is proper sooner than his upcoming bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

The first time the 2 met was in September of 2014 at UFC 178, where Conor put an absolute clinic on Dustin resulting in a first-round stoppage at one minute and forty-six seconds into the battle. Conor's karate stance, jumping in and out and landing punches, spinning kicks to the frame, and leg kicks culminated in an astounding victory for the Irishman.

January of 2021 at UFC 257, on the other hand, proved to be a other animal solely for McGregor. "The Diamond" has indisputably gotten significantly better during the years, as he fought for the name against Khabib Nurmagomedov in September of 2019. The hard-fought contest culminated in Khabib filing Dustin within the third round; however, the Louisiana local's stock as a fighter rose after the loss.

Poirier would cross directly to decisively win a five-round determination over Dan Hooker. His rematch with McGregor ended a lot another way than their first assembly. Dustin was once in a position to take Conor's shots (including the infamous "left hand") and still driven forward, landing more ceaselessly because the bout went on.

A calf kick from Poirier seriously affected Conor's mobility and Dustin sooner or later TKO'd the Irishman midway into the second one round. Conor states that the cause of his loss was once his extensive boxing preparation for a rumored bout with Manny Pacquiao.

Footage of the struggle does disclose Conor to be leaving behind the kind of on-the-toes, darting-in-and-out style that was once the important thing to his victory such a lot of instances prior.

Conor told ESPN (according to Boxing Insider) that he was once additionally "looking past" Dustin in their closing bout: "I pitied the man [Poirier] … I was looking past him. I had a Manny Pacquiao camp in place."

The fighter also went on to mention that he hasn't been that specialize in boxing at all this camp.

Conor McGregor's win over Donald Cerrone was an explosive go back to the octagon, however many questioned it.

While Cerrone is a extremely decorated blended martial artist who in reality has essentially the most wins in UFC history at 23, he has observed his justifiable share of tricky stoppage losses. Many believed that Donald was within the "twilight" of his occupation when Conor fought him. "Cowboy" may be recognized to be a "slow starter" and Conor in most cases comes out the gate guns blazing.

UFC 264 will air on ESPN+ PPV Saturday, July 10, with the primary card starting at 10 p.m. EST. Who do you got?
