Dustin Poirier challenges Islam Makhachev to a rematch, responds to “bumskie” Conor McGregor

Dustin Poirier is challenging Islam Makhachev to a rematch and in the process is responding to ‘bumskie’ Conor McGregor.

‘The Diamond’ (30-9 MMA) fought Makhachev (26-1 MMA) in a lightweight bout a month ago today at UFC 302. The result was a submission victory for the Makhachev, the lightweight champion, at 2:42 of Round 5.

In a series of messages, Dustin Poirier took to ‘X‘ to callout Islam Makhachev to a rematch as well as calling out Conor McGregor to meet him in the Octagon.

Addressing Makhachev, Poirier said:

If arman can't fight let's go again @MAKHACHEVMMA https://t.co/RibEH9MFXr

“If arman can’t fight let’s go again @MAKHACHEVMMA”

If Makhachev’s  expected title defense against Arman Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA) doesn’t go through, Poirier is making it known he’ll be ready for a rematch.

The 35-year-old Poirier went on to address the Irishman with a series of messages:

Hey @TheNotoriousMMA it felt so nice, I did it twice ya bumskie

“Hey @TheNotoriousMMA is felt so nice, I did it twice ya bumskie”

It’s true that Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor have met three times in the cage.

The first bout came in September of 2014 at featherweight, with ‘Notorious’ emerging victorious via first-round TKO.

The pair would meet again in January of 2021 at lightweight, where it was Poirier defeating McGregor (22-6 MMA) by KO at 2:32 of r=Round 2. Meeting again in July of that same year, Poirier defeated the Irishman by TKO in Round 1. Conor McGregor has not fought since that second loss against Poirier.

Suffice to say Dustin Poirier doesn’t seem to be edging toward retirement, or at least not yet.

Would you like to see ‘The Diamond’ in a trilogy bout with McGregor or would you prefer Poirier vs. Makhachev II?
