In fact, prior to his second fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, the notorious was in talks with Manny Pacquiao for a boxing match. And although that didn’t pan out, McGregor brought in his former boxing coach for his training camp against Dustin Poirier. Come fight night, McGregor came out with a boxing stance, heavy on the front foot. This made him even more susceptible to Dustin’s leg kicks, ultimately leading to his first KO loss.

Ever since his devastating loss to Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor fans have been wondering who the Irishman should face next. Having suffered a leg break at UFC 264, it seems like we won’t be seeing McGregor for a considerable amount of time. However, the 33-year-old is already talking about a fourth fight with Dustin.
Considering how big a draw McGregor is, there shouldn’t be a problem getting him the rematch right away, but it might not be the best decision either. A fight with Nate Diaz makes all the sense in the world. The trilogy fight between these two fan favorites had to happen at some point, and this seems like the perfect time.
