However, Dustin Poirier did add that, as things stand, he has no idea if the UFC would allow Conor McGregor to get a title shot right off immediately after a loss. The former interim UFC lightweight champion added that he has no idea which direction the UFC is headed towards right now. Poirier also remains confused if the lightweights are chasing Khabib Nurmagomedov not.
Dustin Poirier is in line for the next shot at the UFC lightweight title
Dustin Poirier is pretty much confirmed to be one half of the next UFC lightweight title fight. However, it will be interesting to note which lightweight will get to stand across the octagon with The Diamond, in the quest to win the UFC lightweight championship.
While Dustin Poirier has made it clear that he wouldn’t mind facing Charles Oliveira for the title, which is likely to be vacated by Khabib soon. The Diamond is open to a third fight against Conor McGregor.
