Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Poirier said a rematch would "be a completely different fight" and both stars would have to make adjustments to win:

While no deal has been finalized for a third fight, UFC President Dana White told reporters earlier this month that he's hoping to make it happen at some point this summer.

The first two meetings between Poirier and McGregor came almost seven years apart, with both fighters winning once. McGregor got the victory with a first-round TKO at UFC 178 in September 2014.

The Notorious One was in the midst of a 15-fight winning streak at that time, culminating with a victory over Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight title in December 2015.

Poirier got his revenge in the rematch at UFC 257 on Jan. 24 with a second-round TKO. He's won six of his last seven fights dating back to 2017.
