Dustin Poirier has promised to "shut up" Conor McGregor if the pair clash in the octagon for a fourth time.
The scoreline is 2-1 in Poirier's favour after the American's victory over the Dubliner at UFC 264 in July 2021.
That is the last time McGregor fought in mixed martial arts as he suffered a broken tibia during the fight.

McGregor is set to take on Michael Chandler next year but in a recent conversation on social media, the Crumlin man said "let’s be real, it’s a must" about the prospect of a fourth fight with Poirier.
And the American said he would also be open to a fourth fight between the pair.
“I probably would (say yes) – try to shut him up once and for all,” Poirier told Megan Olivi for ESPN during a backstage interview at UFC Fight Night 232 on Saturday.
“But even if I slap his ass around again, he’s still going to be chatting. So we’ll see.
"Is him and Chandler official? I don’t know what’s going on. But that’s a huge fight. (Our rivalry is) 2-1 against him. I don’t really see another reason for it, but it’d be a huge fight.”
