UFC 264 leaves a lot of unanswered questions
The MMA world will be talking about the way that UFC 264 concluded for a very long time. There is a sense of unfinished business despite the fact that Poirier was dominating the fight at the final bell. Not to mention, McGregor having a good start could be the impetus for a massive showdown in the future.

McGregor usually gets what he wants. Following the injury, he immediately called out for a fourth match. Given the hype around UFC 264, the UFC may very well be inclined to run this back yet again.
