Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor set for UFC 178

With a little bit of trash talking coming from both of them, Dustin Poirier is now set to fight Conor McGregor at UFC 178. 

McGregor is coming off of a first-round TKO win over Diego Brandao in his hometown of Dublin last weekend in the main event.  The win has placed him into the Top 10 of the featherweight division.  Poirier is currently at #6 in the division. 

Poirier is coming off of a second-round TKO win over Akira Corassani last April at TUF: Nations Finale. 

UFC 178 is taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 26th.  It is headlined by the highly anticipated rematch, Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson 2. 

Both fighters are moving towards the belt, currently held by Jose Aldo, and a win here would put them into title contention.
