"You need people like me," McGregor said.

"Where’s he going ref?" McGregor tweeted.

The original tweet McGregor responded to was deleted.

UFC president Dana White left the door open for a potential fourth fight between the two. White told reporters McGregor is set to undergo surgery Sunday and added that another fight could be in the future given the anticlimactic finish of what was supposed to be the third and final fight.

"The fight didn’t get finished," White said, via MMA Junkie. "You can’t have a fight finish that way. We’ll see how this whole thing plays out. Who knows how long Conor’s out, so Poirier will do his thing until Conor’s ready."

Before a fourth fight were to happen, White said a lightweight title fight between Poirier and Charles Oliveira is likely next.
