A bout to kickoff 2021 is nearly complete between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.
And while McGregor is disappointed the fight is not taking place this year, he has some ideas for the contest.
The former UFC champion is targeting Cowboy Stadium in Dallas for the showdown with Poirier.
Following that, he wants to take on boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
I accept, Jan 23rd is on!
My goal is to see this fight take place in Cowboy stadium. Proper Style! Jerry Jones is a friend and the stadium can hold our crowd. I will be ready for Texas and Texas will be ready for my fans!
Then Manny. #McGregorSportsandEntertainment— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) October 14, 2020
All Poirier asked is what weight the contest would be at.
Close to home for me on my birthday weekend! What weight? https://t.co/xLyWxWgFxh
