The fact that we're even having that conversation, I think, is amazing." Rollins also acknowledged how Clark's success has energized his home state. WWE star Seth Images "And to see what she's done and the amount of money she's been able to bring in for the women in sports, I love it. You know, in Iowa, we ain't got much, man.

McGregor addicted to spotlight, not fighting: Dustin Poirier
Dustin Poirier has cast doubt over Conor McGregor's return to the UFC, questioning whether the former two-division champion is still committed to fighting. McGregor has not competed since his trilogy bout against Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, where he suffered a broken leg in a doctor's stoppage TKO loss. Prior to that, Poirier had knocked out McGregor at UFC 257 in January 2021. The Irish fighter was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024 but withdrew due to a broken pinky toe. Poirier, who is preparing for what he calls his retirement fight, does not expect to share the octagon with McGregor again. 'Nah, because if I fought him again it would just be for the money,' Poirier said on the 'Outta Pocket with RGIII' podcast. 'It felt so nice – I whipped him twice. It would be just for the money and the money would be incredible. I don't know if he's ever going to come back.' McGregor has remained active in the public eye, promoting businesses and making appearances at events such as Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Poirier believes his former opponent may be more invested in maintaining his celebrity status than making a UFC comeback. 'I was his last two fights. That was years ago, and he still hasn't fought,' Poirier said. 'I just think he's one of those guys who is addicted to the limelight. He just wants to be in the mix and in social media. Maybe he does come back, but I just think that he has an addiction to the light.' Despite his scepticism, Poirier acknowledged McGregor's unique ability to compete at the highest level, should he regain his drive. 'Look, I love to talk trash on Conor, but if anybody can put it all together and come back, if he can find that passion and that fire, and put it together, this guy can,' Poirier said. 'I'm not saying anybody, but this guy can. He's special. He has something special, but only he knows when he looks in the mirror if he can really do it again. But if he believes it, I believe he could.' McGregor has yet to announce his next fight, while Poirier continues to prepare for his final bout before stepping away from the sport.

Dustin Poirier gives thoughts on Conor McGregor's return, says UFC star is 'addicted to the limelight'
Dustin Poirier casts doubt on Conor McGregor's UFC return. McGregor's most recent two appearances came against Poirier, where he was stopped in both fights. Poirier knocked out McGregor at UFC 257 in January 2021, and capped off their trilogy with another finish at UFC 264, where McGregor broke his leg in a doctor's stoppage TKO loss in July 2021. McGregor hasn't fought since. He was scheduled to return from an almost three-year long layoff against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 this past June, but withdrew after breaking his pinky toe. 'The Notorious' doesn't currently have a fight booked, but has remained busy promoting BKFC and numerous businesses in the meantime. As Poirier (30-8 MMA, 22-7 UFC) gears up for his retirement fight, he doesn't see himself linked to a McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) fight ever again. 'Nah, because if I fought him again it would just be for the money,' Poirier said on the 'Outta Pocket with RGIII' podcast. 'It felt so nice – I whipped him twice. It would be just for the money and the money would be incredible. I don't know if he's ever going to come back. 'I was his last two fights. That was years ago, and he still hasn't fought. I just think he's one of those guys who is addicted to the limelight. He just wants to be in the mix and in social media. Maybe he does come back, but I just think that he has an addiction to the light.' Poirier did admit that former UFC dual-champion McGregor has a special mindset, which allowed him to become the sport's biggest star. 'Look, I love to talk trash on Conor, but if anybody can put it all together and come back, if he can find that passion and that fire, and put it together, this guy can,' Poirier said. 'I'm not saying anybody, but this guy can. He's special. He has something special, but only he knows when he looks in the mirror if he can really do it again. But if he believes it, I believe he could.'

Dustin Poirier gets 'so amped up' talking about 'fake motherf*cker' Michael Chandler
Dustin Poirier never hesitates at a chance to go off on Michael Chandler. Poirier's dislike for Chandler started years ago when the pair met during a Bellator event. Poirier recalled Chandler coming up to him to pay his respects, but things took a turn when Chandler made his way to the UFC in late 2020. 'The Diamond' recounted the story. 'Why do I dislike him so much? It comes back to this,' Poirier said on the 'Outta Pocket with RGIII' podcast. 'A long time ago, I was at a Bellator event. He comes in at the back, 'I just wanted to come over and shake your hand. I respect you so much, man. Your career has been awesome. You've had so many great fights, you've come back from adversity, so nice to meet you and finally shake your hand.' 'Fast forward a year, two years: He makes it to the UFC. Now he's talking trash on me. Then I saw him in Vegas. He was coming into an event at T-Mobile Arena, and that's the first time I saw him since. I said, 'You little b*tch.' I said, 'You're a fake motherf*cker, I will beat your ass.' And then they booked the fight.' Poirier (30-8 MMA, 22-7 UFC) fought Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) at UFC 281 in November 2022, submitting the former Bellator champion by Round 3 rear-naked choke in a Fight of the Night battle. Poirier was infuriated by Chandler's in-fight tactics, accusing him of being a dirty fighter. 'With my personal experience, he's fake, man,' Poirier said. 'But we do this knuckle sh*t, so I was even more mad. I'm like, let's fight then, and he's a cheater! I could go on for days. I get so amped up about this. He does all kinds of stuff, man. Blows the blood in my eyes after I break his nose. That's cool. I've done that before. I admitted it after. 'And then Chandler, I brought it up, and he said he didn't do it. Like, just admit it, bro. You're so fake. Then he stuck his fingers in my mouth to lift my neck up for a rear-naked choke, right? He's on my back, I'm trying to get up off the fence. He sticks his fingers inside my mouth, grips my mouth guard, pulls my head up to try and get his hand under my chin – bro, I bite his fingers so hard.' Poirier is currently gearing up for his retirement fight in summer, where he hopes to lay down his gloves in his home state of Louisiana. Meanwhile, Chandler takes on fan favorite Paddy Pimblett April 12 at UFC 314 in Miami.
