What did Conor McGregor tell Dana White after his first-ever KO loss? Netflix documentary offers peek into UFC boss' DMs

Conor McGregor, determined to seek redemption after his knockout loss to Poirier in the second round at UFC 257, wasted no time in his desire to return to the Octagon as early as May.

The recently released Netflix documentary on the Irish fighter provides compelling evidence of McGregor's unwavering commitment to a third fight with his rival, Dustin Poirier.

In one episode, McGregor, alongside his then-agent Tim Simpson and long-time manager Audie Attar, actively campaigned for the trilogy fight. Notably, McGregor insisted that the bout should be for the lightweight belt following Khabib Nurmagomedov's retirement, resulting in the belt being vacated.

A climactic scene in the documentary captures McGregor sending a text message to UFC President Dana White, boldly stating:

"Trilogy for the strap."

Conor McGregor texting Dana White for a lightweight title bout with Dustin Poirier

Although the UFC ultimately approved the trilogy fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, it took place at UFC 264 in July 2021 without the lightweight title on the line.

Instead, Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler were granted the opportunity to compete for the coveted belt, with Chandler falling short in his title fight.

Nonetheless, Chandler has secured a highly anticipated bout with 'The Notorious' scheduled for December. Fans eagerly await this thrilling matchup, recognizing it as another captivating chapter in McGregor's extraordinary career.

As the highly anticipated showdown between the Irishman and the American approaches, excitement builds, and fans eagerly anticipate the outcome. McGregor's journey continues to captivate audiences worldwide, solidifying his place as one of the most iconic figures in combat sports.
