Dustin Poirier played matchmaker for the UFC’s lightweight division and has an idea for Conor McGregor ’s return. Poirier (28-7 MMA, 20-6 UFC), a former interim lightweight champion, is coming off a title loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 269 this past December. He didn’t pick an opponent for himself, but “The Diamond” put together three matchups in the stacked 155-pound division that he thinks make sense. Prior to losing to Oliveira, Poirier scored back-to-back stoppage wins over McGregor, who broke his leg in their trilogy bout at UFC 264 in July 2021. With McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) nearing his return, Poirier would like to see him fight one of his former opponents, Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC).
