The UFC has formally offered Conor McGregor a non-title lightweight fight against Dustin Poirier, Dana White told Barstool Sports on Wednesday.
Additional UFC sources confirmed to ESPN that the promotion on Tuesday sent a physical contract to McGregor for a potential bout against Poirier.
Sources close to McGregor confirmed to ESPN's Ariel Helwani that the Irish star was offered the Poirier fight but his management team reaffirmed its desire to fight Manny Pacquiao, and have a charity sparring match with Poirier instead of the proposed Jan. 23 UFC fight between the two.
"We offered Dustin and Conor a fight, so we're waiting to hear back from them both," White told Barstool Sports.
