Willing to return to the octagon, Conor McGregor revealed strong competition for Michael chandler e Nate diaz, who are looking for a 'million dollar fight' with the UFC star. In an interview with 'Talk Sport', the former double Ultimate champion admitted his desire to have a fourth confrontation with Dustin poirier, his last tormentor. The 'Notório' revealed that he has a score to settle with the North American, who wins the dispute with two victories.

“It’s good to see Dustin win in the UFC 299. This makes the tetralogy, or trilogy, need an ending. Now, it has become a big fight. I predicted he would win (Benoit Saint-Denis) and I was happy to see it. It’s certainly a big clash,” said McGregor.
