Rumored Dustin, Dana and Conor have all agreed to the rematch verbally

They’ll do the trilogy fight eventually, but it’s not time now. First Poirier needs to face someone for the belt and Conor needs to pick up a win.
2 wins if Poirer wins the belt. He cant be jumping a Gaethje/Chandler or Gaethje/Hooker winner
 
It actually makes sense for all of them.

Biggest money fight Dana can make for Conor at this time in LW
Biggest money fight for Poirier
Redemption match for Conor

He can also fight Diaz again but that reeks of a gatekeeper fight with little prestige.

I think Conor gets KO'ed again.

Was this confirmed in the media they all verbally agree? Or just what you gathered from what they said over the weekend and their willingness to do the rematch.
 
I think Dustin would want it too. He doesn't want to give Chandler a title fight after one fight. So Chandler and Charles will fight and the winner of that will fight the winner of Dustin Conor for the belt.
 
I'd like to think so but it's hard to gameplan having one round of cardio and a quitting instinct.
It wasn’t a cardio issue, some of y’all are retarded. What makes you think his issue was cardio? He got out fought, plan and simple. It had nothing to do with cardio. Porier chewed his leg up, caught him against the fence, and flurried him with hooks and Conor got caught. Porier executed his game plan and put Conor in a position that plays right into his strengths.
 
I think Dustin would want it too. He doesn't want to give Chandler a title fight after one fight. So Chandler and Charles will fight and the winner of that will fight the winner of Dustin Conor for the belt.

This is exactly what will go down. Dustin deserves to get his payday, Nate can kick rocks, I’m a fan but I’d like to see him fight Gaethje first. Olivera is a tough one, not saying he doesn’t deserve the shot, but no one will buy that pay per view vs Porier, we all know it, Dana knows it.

Porier McGregor 3
Chandler Oliviera
Gaethje Diaz

Would like to see RDA fight, Tony who knows. But that’s the top of the division, aside from Diaz. Since he’s a money fight let him get a W against a top LW first. This is how Dana will play it.
 
If they not only give Conor an immediate rematch, but also a title shot over deserving contenders like what's been mentioned? I'd lose what little respect I have for the UFC's matchmaking system. I'd never buy anything related to the brand again.
 
Don’t like it. Let them both fight somebody else and see if it still makes sense. I’m not a fan of instant rematches unless there was controversy and there wasn’t any here.
 
Conor will adjust and win via having an actual game plan this time

Not if he keeps this shit new boxer style he has.

Even if he comes up with a solution to those calf kicks... I think he'd lose again unless he goes back to his old style.
 
They’ll do the trilogy fight eventually, but it’s not time now. First Poirier needs to face someone for the belt and Conor needs to pick up a win.
seems like dustin is more interested in a money fight with conor than a title shot against killers like oliveira, chandler, gaethje
 
2m+ PPV buys if true.

May break Conor's record with Khabib.

Conor is amazing.
 
If Conor loses again, will his PPV's start selling less?
 
Ehhhh..... no thanks. I'd rather see Poirier vs Chandler and McGregor vs Oliveira.
