“If they announce my fight”- Dustin Poirier offers to shave his head if the UFC confirm his next fight
Dustin Poirier will shave his head for his next fight
Dustin Poirier has been waiting for the promotion to confirm his next fight for quite some time now. The “Diamond” has decided to spice things up for his next fight instead of being frustrated that he does not have a fight.
The fans are really hoping the UFC confirms the next fight of Dustin Poirier, mainly because they get to see the Louisiana fighter back in action but also because Poirier has promised to shave his head in fan interaction. The fighter has said he will shave his head once the UFC make an official announcement on his next fight.
“Actually been thinking about it bro, I’ll shave it if they announce my fight,” said Dustin in a Q&A on his Twitter. Dustin is coming off a title fight loss against Charles Oliveira at UFC 269 and is looking forward to having some fun with his career. The fighter is open to moving up a weight class and is currently eying a fight against the superstar Nate Diaz.

Dustin Poirier reveals how much he weighs currently
The fans were in shock when the lightweight fighter revealed his weight right now. Dustin Poirier is no longer a lightweight anymore. The fighter is currently walking around weighing 182 lbs. Dustin is looking to move up a weight class in his career right now. A fighter who started out as a featherweight is now moving around as a middleweight fighter.
Dustin has not fought in the welterweight division in his career. If he ever fights Nate Diaz, the fight is most likely to be in the 170-lb division. The Diamond has revealed in interviews post the loss against Oliveira, that he is unsure if he ever wants to go through an intense weight cut and fight in the lightweight division.
The fighter has now lost two title fights in the lightweight division and might have to work his way up to fight for another title shot in the lightweight division. The fighter instead prefers taking on fighters that are exciting in the welterweight division. The Nate fight, for example, has been long due. The two stars were initially supposed to fight in UFC 230 in 2018.
