Conor McGregor gives Dustin Poirier three dates in 2020 for showdown

Over to you, Dustin

Conor McGregor has answered Dustin Poirier’s posturing tweet by putting the ball firmly in his court.

Not only did The Notorious say he’d accepted a fight offer from the American, but he gave him three potential dates.

Just one catch. The fight has to take place in 2020.

On Wednesday night, Poirier went after McGregor on Twitter with a subtle call-out.

McGregor? He’s not backing down from it.

He said he has accepted the offer and he’s still willing to donated half a million to The Good Fight Foundation.

And the dates he has in mind are as follows:

  • November 21
  • December 12
  • December 19

McGregor already took Poirier apart in less than two minutes back in 2014 when he was rising meteorically in the UFC.

His last fight was beating Cowboy Cerrone at the start of this year.

Poirier, 31, also lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in his second last fight. He beat Dan Hooker in June.
