Not UFC News: Conor McGregor Vs. Dustin Poirier 2 is Set For December 12, 2020

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier agree to fight each other for a bout that will produce Charity proceeds.

Conor McGregor, who is in talks to box Manny Pacquiao to potentially generate relief funds for the Covid-19 victims, is evidently open for another charity fight. On September 28, Conor McGregor via social media challenged the No.2 Lightweight Dustin Poirier.

Dustin Poirier, whose match up against Tony Ferguson derailed midway in talks, has also agreed to fight The Notorious One through the same medium. The two have met in the Octagon once before in 2014, in a Featherweight contest, where McGregor scored a TKO victory after just 1 minute and 46 seconds, of Round 1. However, since then Poirier’s graph has only gone upwards, therefore same stats may not repeat.

The fight proposed by McGregor, won’t be under UFC’s purview, and it will just be a one-off contest between the two superior professionals, at a mutually agreed date and place.
