Dustin Poirier has become a fan favorite in the UFC for his all-action fighting style and incredible striking skills. The Louisiana native is poised for a potential Hall of Fame-worthy career, having secured notable victories over fighters such as Conor McGregor, Eddie Alvarez, Max Holloway, and Justin Gaethje.

Poirier’s last appearance inside the Octagon saw him lose via a devastating head-kick against Gaethje. During a recent guest appearance, the lightweight contender addressed questions about his preference or the “dream scenario” for his return.

Poirier explained that he is only looking for a fight that will put him back into title contention. Or a fight that holds significance due to its magnitude. Poirier stated, “A fight that guarantees me a title fight, or a really big fight, something that I’m super excited about doing. That’s all I want.”

When asked about a specific opponent, Poirier kept it brief with a simple “Naah,” leaving fans intrigued about his next move in the octagon. However, he has also made it known that a fight at UFC 300 would be a great addition to his ‘resume’!

While having experienced all the rights that MMA has to offer, including headlining events and earning Fight of the Year Awards, Dustin Poirier desires to be part of a historic UFC card, like UFC 300. In the interview on The MMA Hour, he expressed his interest in the milestone event.

He stated, “Like I’ve said in all these interviews, I’m probably not going to fight at [UFC] 400, I missed 200 — 300 would be awesome to have on the résumé.” The lightweight fighter is keen on facing the right opponent.
