Conor McGregor offers to save UFC 'Dublin,' give 'peanut' Poirier 'another crack at the king'

You can't say Conor McGregor isn't a company man.

Not long after news broke that UFC Fight Night 76 headliner Joe Duffy was forced out of his fight against Dustin Poirier this weekend (Sat. Oct. 24, 2015) in Dublin, Ireland, "Notorious" took to Twitter to try and help out his employers ... and his loyal hometown fans.
