Monday, McGregor went on a Twitter tangent which began by jumping into the replies of an ESPN tweet but then veered in another direction. “Notorious” invited former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier – who recently ran into a dead end attempting to get better pay from White in order to fight Tony Ferguson – to fight and donate the proceeds to charity, with no promotional involvement from the UFC.

Hey bro! You want to do an MMA charity fight? Zero to do with the ufc. I will donate half a mill towards your charity for it. Sell it on ppv or work a tv deal and we work out other charities that are close to my heart also. I am engaged in many.
Strictly a charity “exhibition”
