McGregor Vs Poirier Trilogy: £7.3m

JAKARTA - Conor McGregor is back in controversy. This week, he canceled a rematch against Dustin Poirier. The two got into a scuffle on Twitter after McGregor's prediction that he would knock out his opponent in round 4 was countered by Poirier.

Poirier raised 500,000 US dollars (about Rp7.3 billion) in donations that Conor McGregor promised to The Good Fight Foundation to date.

That left McGregor in tears. He said donations were not a debt to be paid. A few hours later, he canceled a one-sided duel against Poirier.

Since then, a number of names have been linked as opponents following the Irishman at UFC 264. Who are they?

One of the biggest candidates is Michael Chandler. The 155-pound title challenger is eager to fight McGregor.

Chandler will contest the vacant title on May 15, and he wants to fight McGregor in July.

This is a fight that should have happened if only McGregor hadn't been injured. UFC president Dana White is desperate for this fight.

Charles Oliveira

An unlikely victory over Chandler would only make Oliveira more likely to meet McGregor in July.

The Irishman will most likely be happy to face Diaz to complete a trilogy that MMA fans will love. But he has to fight Leon Edwards at UFC 262, so the winner can meet McGregor.

Diaz and McGregor have not met since 2016, while Edwards is one of the most promising talents in the UFC.

Whatever happens, it's clear McGregor will be back on July 10.
