Conor McGregor wants to run things back immediately with Dustin Poirier, according to SBG Ireland head coach John Kavanagh . The former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion hopes to set up a trilogy fight with Poirier before the summer of 2021. McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC), who had beaten Poirier back in 2014, lost by second-round TKO in the rematch this past Saturday at UFC 257. McGregor was stopped after wining the first round on all three judges’ scorecards. McGregor looked good early, connecting with some solid shots, but Poirier was able to manage, slow down McGregor with leg kicks, and then finish the Irish star in the second with a flurry of punches.
