The defeat of Conor McGregor in the UFC 257 not only did he put him in a bad position, he has suffered two defeats in his last three lightweight fights, he also leaves him with an uncertain future. With 32 years and the desire to be champion again, ‘The Notorious’ is going through a difficult time.
And is that with the fall to Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor still does not know what his position will be in the 70-pound division. The organization itself does not know for sure what it will bring in the future.
However, the Irishman does not rule out a third fight against Dustin Poirier after he won the first time in 2014 and lost the second, last weekend. But it would not be the only trilogy he would handle, he could also face Nate Diaz again.
Even concretizing the duel with Rafael Dos Anjos, which could not take place a couple of years ago. Nor is a fight against Justin Gaethje or Paul Felder a mess.
Of course, in case McGregor wants to take a break from mixed martial arts, his fight against Manny Pacquiao seems more and more distant. The Filipino has to accommodate his 2021 schedule and if his fight against Ryan Garcia is confirmed, the Irishman will have to wait several more months to finalize his foray into boxing for the second time.
