Dustin Poirier was on a fantastic winning streak until he faced Justin Gaethje; before the BMF title fight, Dustin Poirier fought Conor McGregor for the highly-anticipated trilogy match. The match was stopped after the end of the first round due to a doctor stoppage as McGregor evidently snapped his ankle.
The judges declared Poirier the winner; however, it wasn't a convincing win. Had McGregor not broken his ankle, the outcome of that match could have definitely been something else. In simple terms, it's unfinished business between Poirier and McGregor.

Dustin Poirier on fighting Conor McGregor for the 4th time
In a recent interview with Megan Olivi on ESPN, Dustin Poirier answered whether or not he would entertain a match with Conor McGregor for the 4th time. "I probably would (say yes) – try to shut him up once and for all," Poirier said, as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com. "But even if I slap his ass around again, he's still going to be chatting.
So we'll see. Is him and Chandler official? I don't know what's going on. But that's a huge fight. (Our rivalry is) 2-1 against him. I don't really see another reason for it, but it'd be a huge fight". Conor McGregor looks forward to being very active after he makes his return.
