“I’ll face whoever holds that lightweight title next. Deal with it. Take off your glasses and mark the trilogy as 'unfinished'. Deal with that, too. The rest mentioned, after that”, wrote McGregor on his official 'Twitter'.

The answer in question came after journalist Marc Raimondi, from the North American 'ESPN', listed some of the possible opponents for his return to the cage next year. In fact, the Irishman still talks about a possible quadrilogy in front of Dustin poirier in the future.

While Conor recovers, the lightweight division continues. And, in UFC 269, the brazilian Charles of the Bronx defends his title for the first time against the Irish rival, Dustin poirier. The duel takes place in the main fight of the card, which is scheduled for December 11th, in the company's last numbered event of 2021.

I'm facing whoever the fuck has that LW title next. Deal with it.
