The carry the toys ship. Leave a beast a beast.”

DUST NOT SETTLED

Dustin Poirier open to FOURTH fight with UFC rival Conor McGregor

The Crumlin native has only just returned to sparring ahead of his Octagon return later this year.

McGregor has been linked to a number of fights in the 155lbs and 170lbs divisions, but has yet to confirm at what weight class he will return.

Usman welterweight kingpin confirmed that he'd be interested in the fight for the historical legacy surrounding a potential bout with the Dubliner.

If the 'Notorious' was granted a shot at the 170lbs title on return from his leg break he would be the first fighter in UFC history to challenge for the opportunity to win a title in a third weight-class after previously holding the 155 and 145lbs titles.

“But Conor's not ready yet, Conor's still hurt. When Conor is 100 percent - can actually start training for a fight - we'll then talk about what's next for Conor.

“Who doesn't want to see Chandler vs. Conor - raise your hand.”

No date has been set for the Crumlin natives return to the Octagon.
