Dustin Poirier calls for Conor McGregor rematch following title fight loss at UFC 242

Dustin Poirier isn’t interested in sitting on a loss for very long and now he’s looking to erase a defeat from his past.

Last weekend at UFC 242, Poirier came up short in his bid to become undisputed lightweight champion when he fell to Khabib Nurmagomedov by third round rear naked choke. Afterwards, Poirier was understandably emotional and wasn’t ready to address his future just yet.

He put any questions about what comes next to rest on Tuesday after taking to Twitter to call for a rematch against Conor McGregor in his return to the Octagon.
