However, a 4th fight seems unlikely for now, as Poirier will challenge for the title next. As for McGregor, he has now got a medical suspension till January 2022. Therefore, it seems highly unlikely that a fight between the two fighters will happen again anytime soon.
The loss against Poirier cost McGregor a lot as he has gone down by 2 in the UFC lightweight rankings. The former two-divisional UFC champion is now ranked No.7 in the UFC rankings. ‘Notorious’ has not been so down in the UFC rankings for a long time and that would really hurt the fighter.

The UFC lightweight division is probably the toughest UFC division, full of a plethora of talented fighters. Therefore, many believe that it will be difficult for McGregor to get a title shot anytime soon.
