Former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor has rekindled his rivalry with former interim titleholder, Dustin Poirier – calling his fatherhood into question, with a nasty dig this morning on his social media.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight gold holder, has been sidelined for the last three years from the Octagon, suffering a catastrophic first round doctor's stoppage TKO loss to Poirier after fracturing his left tibia and fibula.
As for Lafayette striker, Poirier, the former interim champion headlined UFC 302 last month in New Jersey, suffering a fifth round D'Arce choke submission loss to pound-for-pound best, Islam Makhachev in the pair's undisputed title fight.
Forced from a return against would-be common-foe, Michael Chandler at UFC 303 this weekend during International FIght Week, McGregor confirmed a fractured toe on his left foot has forced him from his hiatus-snapping return – and will likely sideline him until August at the very earliest.
