UFC superstar Conor McGregor is 1-2 in his feud with the top lightweight contender, Dustin Poirier. In their latest encounter inside the Octagon, the Irishman’s leg snapped, from which he is yet to recover. Currently, in training, the Irish superstar has been frequently posting clips of him hitting the pads.

In his latest Twitter post, McGregor followed his off-late pattern and posted a one-on-one boxing session with his trainer. McGregor quoted the post, “The shots nightmares are made of.”

It appears ‘The Notorious’ is taking a shot at the welterweight champion, as he has already shown an interest in fighting Kamaru Usman.

To much surprise, McGregor’s rival, Dustin Poirier chimed in and had two words for ‘The Notorious’ as a famous Mark Wahlberg meme.

“STOP IT,” the Louisiana native commented.

At the end of the first round, McGregor’s foot snapped. Meanwhile, in the fight, Poirier appeared to take full control of the fight. As he hurt McGregor on the feet and when the Irish fighter clinched him against the fence and jumped on the Guillotine, Poirier landed some good ground and pound.

After two victories over McGregor, Poirier squared off against the lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira. However, he couldn’t achieve the same success in his fight with Oliveira. After tasting early success, ‘Diamond’ fell short as the resilient champion sank in a choke in the third round.

Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, and Dustin Poirier – Which direction the UFC would go?

The Irishman and the Stockton native are 1-1 in their two matches; McGregor and Poirier are 1-2; Diaz and Poirier have history, but the two have not fought each other. Ahead of UFC 230, the UFC put together Diaz and Poirier. However, the bout couldn’t materialize.

Both Poirier and Diaz want to fight each other inside the Octagon. Though UFC President showed some interest in the fight, he has also shown interest in the McGregor-Diaz 3 blockbuster fight.

Initially, ‘The Notorious’ had shown an interest in fighting Poirier after the fourth fight. Even Dana White, in the post-fight press conference for UFC 264, was not happy with how the trilogy concluded.
