7 Things Conor McGregor Could Do Next
7. Dustin Poirier Rematch
We are starting off this list with the most recent rumour surrounding Conor McGregor's near-future. According to reports, Dana White has stated his interest in a possible rematch between the ex-UFC champ-champ and in-form Lightweight contender, Dustin Poirier.
The two previously met back at UFC 178 in 2014, when McGregor got his hand raised after an impressive knockout victory over his opponent. Throughout the buildup to the fight, both McGregor and Poirier shared harsh words, and although this isn't an unusual occurrence when "The Notorious" is competing, it seemed as if Dustin's hatred for Conor wasn't just a temporary feeling, as he told his coach, "I have never disliked anyone as much as him," during a pre-fight UFC Embedded appearance.
Although neither athlete has spoken out on these rumours, we could possibly see this one going down as a title eliminator, with the winner getting a shot at UFC gold next, whether the throne is still being held by Khabib or any other Lightweight contender.
