CONOR MCGREGOR has been urged by UFC commentator Joe Rogan to 'fix' the holes in his game and adopt a different approach for his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.
The Notorious will bid to exact revenge on his former featherweight rival on July 10 in the main event of UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
McGregor, 32, was picked apart by Poirier in their January rematch at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi, with debilitating calf kicks doing the damage before he was knocked out in the second round.
And Rogan reckons the former two-division champion needs to make some adjustments to his style and his training if he's to have any chance of winning the Sin City showdown.
During a recent conversation with Georges St-Pierre on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the 53-year-old said: "It's broken.
"If it's not broken don't fix it? Well, it's broken. So you have to fix it. Dustin clearly broke it."
Rogan reckons the UFC's poster boy would benefit from a new set of eyes helping oversee his upcoming training camp.
He said: "I think someone from the outside needs to look at what you're doing. You can't look at it objectively yourself.

"You need someone analysing, someone who you implicitly trust."
The veteran commentator added: "Especially when you have a big ego like Conor. For good reasons. He's very confident.
"But it's because of his success and because of his ability. He understands what he's capable of.
"But I don't think that's enough."
McGregor, 32, is relishing his series decider with the former interim lightweight champion and has vowed to put on a flawless performance at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena.
The Irishman tweeted: "July 10th I will do this absolutely flawlessly. We have these clowns sussed and fully!
"They wanna play a game of tactics? No problem, see you in there.
"You’ve awoken a beast. A beast with the backing of a much higher power! Say your prayers."
Poirier, however, is confident of a repeat performance in his third meeting with the pride of Dublin, telling ESPN: "I'm gonna stop Conor again.
"July 10, I'm gonna get my hand raised and I'm gonna finish Conor McGregor again."
