That loss for McGregor has seen him slip to sixth in the official UFC rankings of the lightweight division. He has now lost two of his three fights in the promotion's 155lbs division with his sole victory the won over Eddie Alvarez, in 2016, that won him the belt and made him 'The Champ Champ'.
Following his loss to Poirier, there are other fights out there that fans would prefer to see over an immediate rematch. They include:
"Well, when you have two guys that are in their position - Dustin is the No. 1 ranked guy in the world, you got Conor who is ranked No. 6, and they want the trilogy, you got to go with the trilogy. We're probably going to try to put that fight together this summer."With their fight history tied at 1-1, White believes the time is right to go for the trilogy fight. If they can stage it in Las Vegas, during the summer, and go full-on hype with it, the promotion will be hoping to breach the 2 million PPV mark that has, thus far, only occurred once, in 2018, when Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor. One man who baulked at the news was Diaz, who has not fought since losing to Jorge Masvidal in 2019. He took to Instagram and with a picture of him making McGregor tap out, declared:
'Don’t forget who started this G shit. The real uncrowned KingAs for the rest of the lightweight division, White is still not giving up on Nurmagomedov as his lightweight champion and plans to welcome him to Las Vegas for more talks in the coming weeks. As for the likes of Gaethje, Chandler, Oliveira and Ferguson, expect them all to be squared off in a mini tournament early this summer.'No rematches ever given. Dustin you do what your told by your daddy’s u lil b***h'
