“You need people like me,” McGregor said.

McGregor also responded to an allegation Poirier made in his post-fight interview. Pourier said McGregor was putting his fingers inside his gloves. According to MMA Fighting, McGregor responded to a clip from the moment it emerged that “Notorious” was holding Poirier’s gauntlet.

“Where is the reference going?” McGregor tweeted.

The original tweet to which MacGregor replied has been deleted.

UFC President Dana White has left the door open for a possible fourth fight between the two. White told reporters that McGregor is due to have surgery on Sunday, and added that another fight could be in the future given the ill-fitting end of what was supposed to be the third and final fight.

“The battle is not over,” White said, via MMA Junkie. “You can’t end the fight like that. We’ll see how it all plays out. Who knows how long Connor is out, so Pourier will do his thing until Connor is ready.”

Before a fourth fight could happen, White said a lightweight title fight between Poirier and Charles Oliveira would likely be next.
