Dustin Poirier wants to open a Boxing/MMA Academy with McGregor's donation amount

While the rumored fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier is yet to be confirmed, the former Lightweight title holder took to Twitter and wrote that he hopes of the fight eventually being worked out by all parties involved.

Dustin Poirier reportedly agrees to fight Conor McGregor in November or December

In addition to Conor McGregor already claiming that he's willing to fight Dustin Poirier in a rematch in 2020 itself, ESPN's Ariel Helwani has also reported that the he has no problems in crossing paths with the Irishman at either UFC 255 or UFC 256.

Dustin Poirier tells me he would have no issue fighting McGregor on either the 11/21 or 12/12 PPV.

Both techinically have openings at the moment: 11/21 just lost Cody Garbrandt and 12/12 just lost its main event, Usman vs. Burns.

With Cody Garbrandt out of his flyweight title fight at UFC 255 and with Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns being called off once again, this time from the UFC 256 card, McGregor vs. Poirier II could definitely take place at either of the two PPVs.

Now it all comes down to the final decision made by UFC and it remains to be seen what Dana White and his management team will have in store for Poirier and McGregor.
