Fans are expecting the Irishman to return at UFC 300 in April. While his return fight isn’t officialised, many believe that he is going to fight Michael Chandler. The two collided as rival coaches at TUF 31, and UFC CEO Dana White had also announced this fight earlier this year.

However, there is a new name popping up as McGregor’s next potential opponent. It is none other than the Irishman’s rival Dustin Poirier. Poirier recently called out ‘The Notorious’ for a fight at UFC 300! “We’ll see. I probably would try to shut him up once and for all. But even if I slap his a** around again, he’s still gonna be chatting,” he said, in a recent interview.
