Rivals Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor may have agreed on a fourth fight… all while the former was hospitalized for an apparent severe case of a staph infection. The conversation happened over Twitter, when “The Notorious” sent some well-wishes to “The Diamond.”

Poirier took this chance to call out McGregor, who is currently out of the USADA testing pool and is filming the remake of the 1989 classic Road House.
