MMA Fighting Share this story Esther Lin, MMA Fighting Things seem to be trending towards a trilogy fight between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor this summer and if that happens, McGregor’s coach says he’ll be bringing a whole different mentality into the fight. In January, McGregor and Poirier headlined UFC 257 where Poirier avenged a 2014 loss to McGregor, knocking him out in the second round. The loss was the first TKO loss of McGregor’s MMA career and in the aftermath much was made of Poirier’s use of low calf kicks to take away McGregor’s base, which McGregor himself admitted ultimately led to the finish. Now, all signs seem to point towards a summertime trilogy fight between the two and McGregor and his team are excited about the opportunity.
