Dustin Poirier knows he will face Conor McGregor again.<\/p>\n

After Poirier scored a second-round knockout win<\/a> over McGregor in the main event of UFC 257, many hinted at a possible trilogy. Both men expressed interest in running it back, and when they do, “The Diamond” knows it will be a completely different fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fighting man, I don\u2019t think you ever really (have someone\u2019s number). He\u2019ll make adjustments. It\u2019ll be a completely different fight,” Dustin Poirier said to Joe Rogan on his podcast<\/a>. “Like the first one and the second one were different, the third one is going to be different as well. I\u2019m going to make adjustments as well. I\u2019m going to switch it up, keep things fresh and keep him guessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Dustin Poirier would want the trilogy fight for the belt, he is uncertain the UFC<\/a> would give Conor McGregor a title fight. If they do end up having the trilogy, which seems likely, Poirier is hoping the fight happens sometime this summer. But, he is open if the promotion wants it to happen in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cJune, July. My wife\u2019s birthday is coming up, we\u2019re going to go somewhere for a couple of days,” Dustin Poirier said. “if I get the call and it\u2019s time to go to work, I will lock myself in training camp. But, I\u2019m still not right now ready to go back to Florida a month removed from the last fight and lockdown for another ten weeks or whatever it is.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll see. If they call, I will do it,” Poirier said. “But, I\u2019d rather it be a little bit further. Let me enjoy my life back home in Louisiana before I go right back out to Florida. I’ll do it anytime, I\u2019ll do it here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you looking forward to Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 3 this summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
