Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier are continuing taking shots at one another.

Since Poirier lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242 he has requested a rematch with the Irishman on social media. Yet, McGregor did not seem to keen about that.

“I think me and Conor running it back makes a lot of sense at this point,” Poirier wrote.

It then got the following response by Conor McGregor.

“I fed you to the canvas in 90 seconds bro. You should have spoke my name with a bit more respect in that build up. McGregor’s next!, Motherf****r, it’s McGregor alway! McGregor is the goal! Always! Say that now and I’ll think about it. #GoneIn90seconds #NicCgae #AJolie,” he wrote.

It didn’t stop there either, as on Tuesday night, they continued to go at one another. McGregor then posted a photo of him knocking out Poirier on social media.

Which, of course, Dustin Poirier saw and he responded once again taking aim at Conor McGregor.

“Run it back tough guy!,” Poirier wrote.

That still wasn’t enough as Poirier then responded to the tweet with a simple emoji.

The two are definitely building up a feud that it seems a rematch would make sense. Both Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor are coming off of submission losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov for the title, and both want to get a rematch. In order to do so, they will need to pick up a win or two, so fighting each other makes sense.

Yet, whether or not the fight happens is to be seen. Conor McGregor has not seemed interested in fighting unless it is Khabib Nurmagomedov, but this Poirier rivalry is only getting bigger which could result in a fight

If Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier fought, who do you think would win in the rematch?

Kavanagh: Nate Diaz Is The Second-Best Lightweight Fighter

Following his big win at UF 205 this past Saturday night, Conor McGregor has options regarding his next opponent. Tyron Woodley, Jose Aldo, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov could be the next guy in line as McGregor’s opponent.

Following his big win at UF 205 this past Saturday night, Conor McGregor has options regarding his next opponent. Tyron Woodley, Jose Aldo, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov could be the next guy in line as McGregor’s opponent. McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, spoke with Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour about what’s next for the two-division champion.

According to Kavanagh, there is one name that stands out above all the others, and that is Nate Diaz, who beat McGregor at UFC 196.

“I understand Khabib is the No. 1 contender and it’s probably gonna be him if that’s how the company works,” Kavanagh said. “But for me, interest wise, the Nate fight would interest me greater because of that. If it’s Tony, if it’s Khabib, great. They’re both fantastic fighters.”

Kavanagh thinks that the second-best featherweight fighter on the UFC roster currently is Max Holloway who has been blitzing through the division and is on a lengthy winning streak.

“I think the second-best 145er is Max Holloway,” Kavanagh said. “That’s my opinion. And I think the second-best 155er is Nate Diaz. I think Nate would beat either Tony or Khabib. I think he really turned the corner with the Michael Johnson fight. I think we saw a new version of him. And then he looked fantastic in both Conor fights.”

While Diaz does hold a win over McGregor, McGregor earned a victory in their rematch at UFC 202 this past August. After UFC 202, many people were calling for a third fight. That was before McGregor held two belts at once, so it appears that the trilogy fight will have to wait.

“I do think Nate would, not comfortably, but [he would] be quite a bit better than either of them,” Kavanagh said, referring to Nurmagomedov and Ferguson. “If I had the magic buttons to press as a fan, [McGregor vs. Diaz 3 is] the fight that would interest me the most.”
