Rumored The UFC Twitter account sends out DMs stating Mcgregor vs Poirier 2 is now for the title!

[Gio]

"On Monday, those within the MMA community began revealing Twitter messages that they received from the official UFC Twitter account about UFC 257 event info. This, of course, is the event where Poirier and McGregor will be headlining on Jan. 23."

"When speaking to the UFC DM chatbot, as you follow along with the conversation and ask for the next event details, the chatbot notes a little something that would be news to the public."

“Don’t miss Poirier take on McGregor for the lightweight title bout. Who do you think will walk out of the Octagon with the W.?” the UFC chatbot says.

BJPenn.com has reached out to the promotion seeking confirmation of the additional wrinkle to the fight but has yet to hear back. After hopping in the DMs with the chatbot for an extended “conversation,” the bot reiterates; “With the lightweight title bout at stake, UFC 257 has 1 epic main event!”

Indeed huge if true!

Your thoughts?

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

So fucking stupid to let McGregor anywhere near a belt. He doesn't deserve it, and he will never defend it.

I'm interested in the fight though.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

The 170lb title?!? Triple champ!

 

[Deadwing88]

War Dustin !

 

[GueseGuy]

3 fights at LW in 7 years in UFC .. 3 title shots ..

 

[Rajon Rondo]

Then Conor gets stripped because he won't defend it

 

[Jose Beehive]

Farce, it's gone from Charity fight in a different org, to UFC fight, to UFC title fight... Some serious butt licking going on.

I hope it's a draw and both are injured for a year.

UFC trying to let Conor stall and fuck up the LW division.....again :sniper:

 

[tripleo]

so that means khabib is for sure retired...

 

[Dick Niaz030]

Let's goooo

{<Mcgoat}{<Mcgoat}{<Mcgoat}{<Mcgoat}

 

[Aurelian]

Yeah it sounds like the meeting Dana and Khabib that was supposed to happen has happened.

I feel bad for the entire lightweight rosters that have to deal with this

 

[brackis1]

This sport is run by legitimately bad people.

 

[Ald0]

Laughable but expected if true

 

[TempleoftheDog]

That’s such a bad idea. I was really hoping the UFC had to know that. Because if Conor wins he’ll never defend.

Dustin is the only hope real fans of the sport have for keeping this division moving.

Possibly the best division in the UFC has been brought to it’s knees due to divas, and inactivity for going on 5 years.

And there it is.

 

[KantoTerror]

Lol...we all know who owns that belt...Dustin and Conor knows...

 

[Fahcough]

Put Conor on the GSP clause, if he doesn't agree to fight again in 30 days .... wait. Wasting my thoughts, Dustin is going to TKO him and put him 2 yrs away from another shot.

Conor Era, Round 2. Here we go.
