Dustin Poirier ruthlessly responds to rival Conor McGregor announcing UFC comeback fight

Dustin Poirier has mocked his "children" Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler who will fight in the Irishman's UFC comeback.

McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in a trilogy clash with Poirier back in July 2021, but he has since completed a period of lengthy rehabilitation. The Irishman piled on weight in his absence from the octagon and is now ready to make a final title charge at 170lb which he is expected to return in.

After he confirmed he was made an offer to fight in The Ultimate Fighter, UFC president Dana White confirmed that Chandler will receive his long-awaited call-up to be the opposition to McGregor. The pair will then face-off at the end of the series once they have attempted to coach their team of fighters to success.
