A new words war between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor could start.
The bitter UFC rivals fought three times in the Octagon between 2014 and 2021.
Dustin Poirier went 2-1 in the series when 'Notorious' broke his leg during their trilogy fight on UFC 264 almost four years ago.
Since then, Conor McGregor has been constantly talking about making a comeback – but although he has been completely suitable for centuries, MMA fans are becoming increasingly worried about the Irishman who withdraws from sport.
Poirier finished McGregor in style on UFC 257.
Dustin Poirier believes that Conor McGregor is addicted to fame
UFC CEO Dana White does nothing to suppress concern about his biggest stars fighting the future.
The MMA Mogul has changed its number in recent weeks after previously promising McGregor would return to the end of 2025-NU, he is not sure what happens to the King of Pay-per-View from the UFC.
Poirier hopes to end his UFC career by fighting this summer against a colleague light weight in Louisiana.
'The Diamond' insists that even a mega-money fight with McGregor could not convince him to linger.
“No, because if I fought him again, it would just be for the money,” Poirier replied when he was asked for McGregor for a fourth time during an appearance on the Outta -Pocker with RGIII -Podcast.
“It felt so nice that I hit him twice. It would only be for the money and the money would be incredible. “
Anyway, Poirier believes that McGregor is more interested in being famous than returning to the sport that made him a star.
He added: 'I don't know if he will ever come back.
“I was his last two fights, that was years ago, and he still didn't fight. I just think he is one of those guys who is addicted to the spotlight – he just wants to be in the mix and [on] Social media.
“Maybe he will come back, but I just think he has an addiction to light.”
Conor McGregor Eyes Bare-Knuckle Boxing Debut
After being ruthless to begged for a UFC field date, McGregor has hardly mentioned the promotion lately.
In fact, he had the possibility of a crossover from the Knuckle Fighting Championship.
“One these days you will just hear my music on this stage in the bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, and I will have packed my fist without gloves for a fight, from nowhere,” McGregor told the Schmo in January.
“No promotion. No promo. No nothing. Just fight against any fight on the map. That could be what the future has in store. '
McGregor mentioned three former UFC hunters – Eddie Alvarez, Jeremy Stephens and Mike Perry – as potential opponents for his BKFC debut, which will probably not happen until he is free from his contractual obligation to MMA's Premier League.
It can take a while before that mess is resolved, but you can expect his reaction to Poirier's latest comments almost immediately.
