The UFC has seen many major rivalries that have gained the fan’s attention. The rivalry between UFC superstar Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier is one of the most iconic rivalries in recent times. However, after their last fight in 2021, the two rivals have had a love-hate relationship with each other. Poirier recently posted a photo of himself in Ireland, leading fans to believe he was training with the Irishman.

Poirier recently posted a photo of himself in Ireland and was seen training in the Irishman’s home turf. He captioned the photo, “Roadwork in Dublin with the boys.” The “Diamond” sported and advertised “TLF apparel,” which is a sportswear brand for which Poirier is an ambassador. However, Poirier could potentially be in Ireland to support his teammates fighting on the Bellator 299 card.

Poirier has always talked about his respect for McGregor’s skill and legacy. He has termed McGregor as one of the hardest punchers he has faced and respected his striking. However, Poirier has shown disinterest in fighting McGregor for the fourth time. He believed that their last fight ended their trilogy, even though McGregor faced a major injury which caused their third fight to stop.
