In arguably the biggest non-title fight of his career, Dustin Poirier put on a clinical performance against Conor McGregor at UFC 257 to secure a second-round stoppage win. The card was an extremely successful one and sold a reported 1.6 Million PPV buys. 

Seven years on from being stopped in the first round by Conor, Poirier returned the favor to make it one win apiece. This sets up an incredible storyline for a trilogy fight between the two men. 

Immediately after the fight, Conor McGregor insisted that the rematch against Dustin is what he wants. ‘The Diamond’ is also open to the idea, and so is Dana White. Therefore, all signs point towards a rematch soon.

When asked when he would want the rematch to take place he said, “June July, cause, my wife’s birthday is coming up. So we’re going to go somewhere for a couple of days. I will if I get the call and it is time to go to work, I will lock myself in training camp. But I’m still not right now ready to go to back to Florida a month removed from the last fight and then locked down for another 10 weeks…. If they call, I will do it”

Going into a third fight, it will be interesting to see what adjustments both men make. In the second fight, the low calf kicks changed the fight for Poirier and helped him exact revenge. However, he will have to change things up as McGregor would be ready for it in the trilogy. Furthermore, it would be interesting to see how ‘The Notorious’ adapts his game plan to check ‘The Diamond’s secret weapon. 

There will be a lot on the line for both men in the third and final fight. For ‘The Notorious’, a loss could be detrimental to his UFC career and his legacy in the sport. A win, however, would catapult him right back into a title shot at 155-pounds.
