Khabib Nurmagomedov on Dustin Poirier

Dustin Poirier faced the lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira for the undisputed lightweight title at the main event of UFC 269. This was Dustin’s second shot at the undisputed title. His first title loss came against the former lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov who locked in the rear-naked choke to retain his belt.

Dustin once again lost the title bout in a similar fashion, after Charles caught the rear-naked choke in the third round to get the victory. Dustin worked really hard for this one, and he was coming off from back to back wins against Conor McGregor, most people expected him to win, but they were just as disappointed as “The Diamond.”

After the fight, Dustin talked about this loss, and people asked him what’s next for his future, he said he worked really hard for this one and everything was playing out exactly the way he planned. Oliveira’s durability really surprised him, and he was very careful about not giving Charles his back, but that’s exactly what happened and here we are. A reporter asked him is he looking to work his way to another title shot, Dustin told him, he is not thinking about that right now, and if he puts his mind into it, then he can definitely do that, but “Do I want to do it one more time,” is the real question.
