Fresh off his defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dustin Poirier has already got an idea on what fight makes sense for him for whenever he returns to the Octagon.

Essentially, Poirier is of the opinion that a rematch between himself and Conor McGregor would work quite nicely.

I think me and Conor running it back makes a lot of sense at this point.

“I think me and Conor running it back makes a lot of sense at this point. … In MMA or Zuffa Boxing,” Poirier tweeted out.

Well, if he fancied a response, it didn’t take long to get one. McGregor, who is on the mend after a hand injury kept him on the sidelines this summer, saw Poirier’s comments and jumped online to offer his thoughts on a second contest.

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 #AJolie

“I fed you to the canvas in 90 seconds bro.” McGregor tweeted. “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.”

McGregor vs. Poirier took place five years ago at UFC 178 in what was considered McGregor’s breakout performance. At the time, the pair contested at 145-pounds, and McGregor’s first round knockout of Poirier was seen as devastating to the latter’s career.

To Poirier’s credit, he redeveloped himself at lightweight, and fought his way into title contention. Perhaps now, as McGregor seeks his own rematch with Nurmagomedov, a second bout would be perfect for both men to get back to a world title fight.
