UFC 269: Conor McGregor rivalry ‘is going to be forever’ says Dustin Poirier – ‘we can fight five more times’

Dustin Poirier’s rivalry with Conor McGregor is alive and well.

The American, who will challenge Brazil’s Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 269 this Saturday in Las Vegas, has battled “The Notorious” three times previously.

Poirier lost his first fight, a 2014 featherweight contest, by first-round knockout. However, the American exacted his revenge earlier this year, scoring first-round stoppage wins over McGregor in back-to-back lightweight contests, the second of which left the Irishman with a broken leg.

MMA rivalries rarely extend beyond a third fight, but in the case of Poirier and McGregor, it sounds like there could be multiple acts still unwritten.
