Thus, the re-match makes sense at this point. In the first fight, McGregor knocked out Poirier within the first round. It was a heated build-up and McGregor got the last laugh. Yet, the rematch can look different.

Both the fighters have been respectful towards each other now, and Poirier has all the tools to avenge the loss. The question is, will McGregor let him display his skills? If everything goes per plan, the fight can happen on November 21, December 2, or December 19.
