Dustin Poirier will have one more fight following speculation he could retire. 

Poirier’s future was in doubt after losing to Islam Makhachev at UFC 302. The Diamond lost a fifth-round submission as Islam defended his UFC Lightweight Title. It was another moment Poirier had fallen short of the lightweight belt following his prior losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.

Dustin initially hinted he could retire if no title fight was possible. However, he then retracted those comments. There were links to fights against Conor McGregor, Michael Chandler, and the Oliveira rematch. While there is no announcement over which opponent is next, Poirier has ruled out facing Colby Covington. The news has gotten fans talking, who had plenty to say about seeing Dustin again.

I will.

Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day https://t.co/N9H3j2OR5p

“I will [make that walk one more time]. Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day,” Porier said
