After the ‘trilogy’ tiebreaker match between Mcgregor and Poirier match was canceled, fans have been eager to see what is next in store for these ‘not-so-friendly’ fighters. The hype behind Poirier’s mere presence in Mcgregor’s hometown is a clear testament to that.

Dustin Poirier’s Peculiar Relationship with Conor McGregor

Poirier shares a rather peculiar relationship with Mcgregor, which has been quite the rollercoaster ride, with much drama involved. It all began, back in 2014, when they exchanged blows at the UFC 178, with Mcgregor finishing with a TKO. ‘The Notorious’ displayed a superior performance and emerged as a champion in the first round itself. This clearly set off the rivalry, given that Poirier changed his division and started competing in the lightweight matches, seemingly to polish his skills.

In their Second bout, Poirier emerged with more experience and secured victory against Mcgregor by TKO in their second round. However, things took a dramatic turn in 2021 before their third bout at UFC 264. McGregor with a drastic change in attitude towards his opponent stated to Ariel Helwani that ‘Poirier would be leaving the cage on a stretcher’. Unfortunately, their relationship had hit a rough patch on the sidelines over a public dispute involving a $500,000 donation. McGregor later lost the third fight, with gruesome injuries and a ‘TKO via doctor’s stoppage.’

Currently, they are far from even being cordial, and with such strong personalities, it’s uncertain whether they’ll ever build a friendly relationship again.

So what are your thoughts on the ‘Poirier meets Conor McGregor’ take, that has the fans excited? Is there a fourth rematch brewing? Do tell us in the comments below
