Dustin Poirier is undoubtedly one of the top fighters in the promotion right now. The Louisiana native has beaten the likes of Justin Gaethje, Conor McGregor, and Dan Hooker. As of January 2022, the fighter stands eighth in the UFC men’s pound for pound rankings.

He recently took to Twitter to tease fans about his possible next bout.
