UFC superstar Conor McGregor challenged long-time rival Dustin Poirier to a charity MMA fight, and “The Diamond” has issued his response.<\/p>\n

McGregor has been in the news this weekend after he released text messages of a private conversation he had with UFC president Dana White earlier this year regarding a potential fight with Diego Sanchez<\/a>. White said releasing the images was a dirty thing to do and McGregor fired back at the UFC president. It’s a big mess, and the biggest problem is it doesn’t get McGregor any closer to fighting. He hasn’t fought since January at UFC 246.<\/p>\n

At this point, McGregor is itching to compete again, so much so that he’s considering boxing again<\/a>. Taking to his social media six years and one day after their first encounter at UFC 178, McGregor called out Poirier for a charity MMA fight. Check out what McGregor suggested he and Poirier do. Here’s what “The Notorious” wrote on his Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hey bro! You want to do an MMA charity fight? Zero to do with the ufc. I will donate half a mill towards your charity for it. Sell it on ppv or work a tv deal and we work out other charities that are close to my heart also. I am engaged in many.
Strictly a charity \u201cexhibition\u201d<\/p>\n
