Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2 is the fight to make
It is almost guaranteed at this point that Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will be facing each other in a rematch. Both of these fighters have had recent sagas with Dana White, and it'll therefore be interesting to see if they are able to come to an agreement with the promotion to fight under the UFC banner.
In recent weeks, Conor McGregor has revealed screenshots of his private conversations with Dana White after failed negotiations with the UFC for a fight against either Justin Gaethje or Diego Sanchez.
