Dustin Poirier last fought around six months ago at UFC 272 against Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight championship. It was Poirier’s second title shot which he lost via submission. After that the fighter has been out of the sport and is currently looking to get back.

Poirier was previously linked with Nate Diaz and the fight was supposed to take place at 175. Poirier was looking forward to the fight and Diaz was interested too. Fight fans were also excited for that fight given the popularity of both the fighters. But the UFC didn’t gave green light to it for unknown reasons and now it’s not going to happen. After that Poirier was also rumoured to fight Conor McGregor in a trilogy fight but the fighter had no interest fighting the ‘Notorious’ again.

Recently, Poirier had an online altercation with Michael Chandler and both fighters didn’t hold back at all. In an interview with The Fight with Teddy Atlas, Poirier claimed that he is a bad match for Chandler. He said :

“I’m a dangerous fight for him. I think I’m a clean puncher, accurate,” Poirier said on The Fight with Teddy Atlas. “He called out Conor, think Conor is a dangerous fight for him, too. I’m not saying Chandler’s chinny or anything, but he gets hurt in a lot of his fights, and guys like Conor, they can punch.”
