Dana White has Dustin Poirier snubbing a UFC lightweight title shot to set up a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor as the right decision.
When news broke last week that Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler will fight for the vacant UFC lightweight title, it all but confirmed the trilogy between Poirier and McGregor. White has previously said the fight will probably take place in the summer.
Talking at the UFC 260 press conference, White credited Poirier’s decision to seek a trilogy with McGregor.
“Dustin wants the rematch [with Conor McGregor],” White said (h/t MMA Fighting).
