“I finished you in 90 seconds, brother. You should have spoken about my name with a little more respect in an interview. McGregor isn't just next. It's always McGregor. McGregor is the best option every time. Say that and I will think about it”, wrote the Irishman.
Conor's publication was made in response to a challenge made by Poirier after the American was defeated by Khabib in a fight valid for the unification of the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg), held last Saturday (7), in Abu Dhabi.

After considering an early retirement, the 'Diamond' seems to have changed his mind and invited the 'Notório' for a rematch of a duel that took place in 2014, when McGregor defeated the former interim champion by knockout in less than two minutes.
At the time, the fighters made up the group of athletes who worked in the featherweight category (up to 65,7kg), of which the Irishman won the title after beating the Brazilian José AldoIn 2015.

None of the athletes have any commitments scheduled for the next few months.
I fed you to the canvas in 90 seconds bro.
You should have spoke my name with a bit more respect in that build up. “McGregor's not next”
Motherfucker, it's McGregor always!
McGregor is the goal! Always!
Say that now and I'll think about it.# GoneIn90seconds #NicCage #Jolie— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) September 10, 2019
