Following UFC 257 and Dustin Poirier’s dramatic (t)KO victory over Conor McGregor, it seemed reasonable to wonder just what would be next for the UFC’s superstar talent. There had been talks of a boxing match with Manny Pacquiao. Or perhaps the Nate Diaz trilogy bout that seems to always be a lurking possibility whenever McGregor is between opponents. And, of course, there’s been a lot of pressure from White, in the pursuit of his dream to get Khabib Nurmagomedov and the SBG Ireland talent back in the ring together again.
Recently, however, rumors have been flying that the UFC is all set to pursue and instant rematch between McGregor and Poirier.
