Dustin Poirier casts doubt on Conor McGregor ’s UFC return. McGregor’s most recent two appearances came against Poirier, where he was stopped in both fights. Poirier knocked out McGregor at UFC 257 in January 2021, and capped off their trilogy with another finish at UFC 264, where McGregor broke his leg in a doctor’s stoppage TKO loss in July 2021.

When thinking of the most bitter, heated and personal UFC rivalries ever, the ones which often come to mind are Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier and Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen, however, arguably the most personal rivalry ever is Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor.

Dustin Poirier says he asked the UFC for the trilogy match against Justin Gaethje at UFC 313, but it didn't come to fruition.
