Recently on Twitter, someone asked ‘The Diamond‘ about fighting Mcgregor for the fourth time. “Will you fight Conor again?”  While responding to the question the former two-time lightweight contender revealed that he has no interest or plans to fight Mcgregor again. “Probably not,” wrote Poirier.

The pair have already fought against each other on three occasions. The first was at UFC 178 when both Poirier and Mcgregor were young and the Irish were in the league of his own. Mcgregor defeated Poirier via TKO in the very first round and it was the first time the fighter was stopped by strikes. Poirier has always said that the first fight with Mcgregor had a great impact on his professional career and was a turning point. 

The second time both the fighters faced each other it was at UFC 257 which took place last year. This time Dustin Poirier was no more the old fighter as he was in 2014, he won the fight via TKO in the second round and managed to level the score with Mcgregor.

The third and the last time Poirier faced Mcgregor was at UFC 264 later that same year. During the fight, McGregor suffered a brutal injury and snapped his leg. As a result, he was unable to continue the fight and the Poirier was decided the winner of the bout via doctor stoppage.
