Dustin Poirier responds to Conor McGregor questioning win: ‘There were a lot of excuses in the last one too’

Dustin Poirier is as tired of all of the Conor McGregor talk as anyone.

“The Diamond” took a 2-1 series lead in his trilogy with McGregor when he won by doctor stoppage at UFC 264 two weeks ago. The bout was expected to end their rivalry, which dates back to 2014, but a broken leg suffered by McGregor at the end of round one that brought a close to the fight has left the window open for a potential fourth meeting between the two.

The possibility of another fight between the lightweight stars has also been boosted by the fact that McGregor continued to shout personal insults and threats at Poirier and his wife Jolie as they exited the octagon.
