Since his last defeat against Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 269, Dustin Poirier has been trying to return to the octagon. The former interim champion failed to record his victory over Brazil and once again failed to claim the title.
Charles Oliveira defeated Dustin Poirier in the 3rd round with a rear-naked stranglehold and won the fight by submission. It’s been 5 months since the fight and Dustin once again looks ready for action. Earlier, Dustin has expressed his desire to move into the middleweight division and fight Nate Diaz, but no fights have been confirmed by the UFC.
It was rumored that Dustin Poirier could fight Conor McGregor for a potential fourth fight, but the rumor was denied by Justin. Justin Poirier once again said with his tweet that he may be returning to his fans soon. Responding to a tweet, Dustin said in his latest tweet, “I will fight in July.” Warrior stated that he will likely fight in July, but no official statement has been made by the UFC.
