Dustin Poirier casts doubt on Conor McGregor comeback and possible fourth fight

Dustin Poirier is non-committal over a fourth fight with Conor McGregor after the controversial leg break ending to their trilogy bout.

The pair first met as young featherweight contenders in 2014 with the Irishman landing a quick-fire first round knockout on route to an historic run as a two-weight world champion. In the meantime, Poirier forged his own path at lightweight that included interim gold, before they met again at UFC 257 in January of last year as two of the sport's biggest stars.

It was the American who landed the knockout victory the second time around, setting up a record-breaking trilogy bout the following July at UFC 264, which saw the pair's feud get more heated than ever in a testy build-up. Unfortunately, McGregor broke his leg towards the end of the first round and Poirier took a TKO victory to seemingly end the trilogy.
