While his second-round TKO win at UFC 257 earlier this year was a clean stoppage with no controversy, the trilogy fight saw McGregor break his leg, which led to the doctor stoppage. <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/charles-oliveira-confident-he-would-knock-out-conor-mcgregor-and-dustin-poirier\/\">Even though Poirier is 2-1 all-time in their series and McGregor is out for the next year with his injury<\/a>, it hasn&#8217;t stopped the Irishman from taking to his social media as of late to take shots at Poirier and his family.

When I think about in hindsight, like today, I was thinking about it like, \u2018The guy\u2019s probably losing his mind.\u2019 He can\u2019t really train. He\u2019s got a hurt leg that he\u2019s trying to rehab. Rent free. I\u2019m just living rent free,&#8221; Poirier said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2021\/8\/25\/22640903\/morning-report-dustin-poirier-unfazed-by-conor-mcgregors-latest-attacks-im-just-living-rent-free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Although Poirier is next in line for a title shot against UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, he has spoken openly about moving up to welterweight and fighting bigger guys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I would,&#8221; Poirier said. &#8220;Those are some big guys, man. We\u2019ll see. I definitely can fight at 170. Honestly, now at 155, my metabolism has caught up. When I was cutting to 145, between fights I would get a lot heavier than I do now. I think my body was getting messed up and holding on to a lot of weight. I would shoot up to 190 when I was fighting 145. Now I don\u2019t get past 182. That\u2019s really the max I walk around at. But I think I could fight at 170, too.
