Conor McGregor couldn't resist one final dig at rival Dustin Poirier after the American's final UFC fight - before swiftly deleting the post.

Dustin Poirier recently stepped inside the UFC Octagon for the last time in his legendary and memorable fighting career journey. The post Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev Set Rivalry Aside to Praise Dustin Poirier After UFC 318 Retirement appeared first on FirstSportz.

Dustin Poirier's manager recounts his client's biggest moments entering UFC 318 and how the second Conor McGregor fight was not financially lucrative.

Khabib Nurmagomedov got a higher base purse for his fight against UFC 318 headliner Dustin Poirier than for the most successful pay-per-view of all time. When fans reminisce about Nurmagomedov’s legendary 29-0 career in MMA, it usually doesn’t take long before one particular fight comes up.

The Poirier-McGregor story now, incredibly, continues. After the fight, Poirier claimed McGregor fractured his foot earlier in the round, with McGregor claiming that narrative was entirely false.

Later tonight (Sat., July 19, 2025) in UFC 318’s pay-per-view (PPV) main event, Poirier will square off with Max Holloway for the third time in his final Octagon appearance. Incredible knockouts, grueling losses and vicious firefights — Poirier is one of the most entertaining elite talents of all time.

Dillon Danis’ MMA hiatus dates back to June 2019, when he improved to 2-0 in the sport with an armbar submission win over Max Humphrey at Bellator 222. A knee injury curtailed the prospect’s promising career, which he will try to get back on track next month.

Dustin Poirier will receive a hero's welcome in his native Louisiana at UFC 318 when he battles Max Holloway for a third time in their careers. It's a respect Poirier earned from his peers and the promotion that they would take a PPV event to New Orleans for the first time in 25 years as a proper send off to one of the good guys in the sport's history.
