“He’ll be back in a year. He’ll be in L.A. for a little while. I don’t know if he’s gonna fly home, or what he’s gonna do.”

The fourth fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier was already confirmed by Dana White. We will have to wait and see if Conor McGregor will be using his time well and make a triumphant return to the Octagon.
