Conor McGregor Responds to Dustin Poirier Downplaying 4th Fight, Vows to Prove His ‘Support Correct’

The return of Conor McGregor remains one of the most anticipated MMA events of 2023. While 2022 is about to draw curtains, the fans missed the Irishman’s presence in the Octagon. Notably, the former UFC champion remains one of the most electrifying athletes to grace the Octagon and he recently responded to Dustin Poirier’s dropping interest in their potential fourth fight.

The UFC star last fought in the Octagon against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. While the noted fighter recorded a loss in his last outing, his stocks still remain high in the MMA world.

What did Conor McGregor say?

The Dublin-born fighter’s recent record might not do justice to his prolific skills. Surprisingly, McGregor has only recorded a solitary win in the last 6 years. That victory came way back against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246 in 2020.

The 22-6 record holder took to Twitter and expressed his excitement for his much-awaited return. Further, McGregor vowed to prove his support correct. Also, the Road House star referred to his last Octagon fight at UFC 264.

Thus, he wrote, “Final shot before bracing on the break. All me. Excited to return and prove my support correct! Marathon not a sprint.”

However, ‘Diamond‘ has time and again cast doubt over their potential fourth fight.

While this tweet might make the fans jump off their seats, they still might have to wait for a while to witness the UFC star grace the Octagon.

McGregor’s potential return

Relying on the recent training footage and his social media posts, ‘Mystic Mac’ seems to have recovered from his injury. Thus, the fans have kept their hopes high.

The SGB Ireland product has also gained a shredded physique as he recovered from this injury. In addition, his new physique prompted fans to speculate that the fighter might be moving up a division. Significantly, the 34-year-old fighter made his welterweight debut in the legendary fight involving Nate Diaz at UFC 196.
