Dustin Poirier names ideal opponent for Conor McGregor after ruling out fourth UFC fight

Dustin Poirier believes Conor McGregor should fight Justin Gaethje next when he returns to the octagon.

McGregor's last UFC outing ended in defeat against Poirier last year in their trilogy bout after breaking his leg during a ferocious opening round. This has seen McGregor inactive now for around a year, and as a result has seen him drop out of the top ten in the 155lb rankings.

After making an impressive transformation to a new ripped 190lb physique, McGregor is eyeing a switch to 170lb in a bid to become the UFC's maiden three-weight champion. And despite previous links to a fourth meeting, Poirier believes the pair have now moved on from their rivalry. "I’m probably not going to fight Conor again. I don’t really want to fight Conor again," Poirier told the DC & RC Show when asked about a fourth showdown with McGregor.
