It appears Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor will fight for a second time later this year.<\/p>\n

Over the last couple of weeks, McGregor and Poirier talked about an exhibition sparring match to raise funds for charity. Yet, UFC<\/a> president, Dana White said he would offer them to make that fight happen and on social media, McGregor has revealed he has accepted the fight<\/a> and called for it to happen at UFC 255 or 256.<\/p>\n

Now that the pair is set to fight, McGregor is keeping his word and said he will donate to Poirier’s Good Fight Foundation. “The Diamond” makes it clear he is also fired up to get the chance to share the Octagon with the Irishman again.<\/p>\n
