PORTLAND, Ore. – Onetime UFC lightweight title challenger Al Iaquinta hopes he can talk Paul Felder out of retirement if a fight against Dustin Poirier doesn’t materialize.
Iaquinta on Sunday told MMA Fighting the Poirier matchup is “the fight to make,” but he aims to rekindle an old matchup if that’s no longer on the table.
”Paul Felder and I were supposed to fight in the past,” Iaquinta said backstage at Submission Underground 11. “I know he had a rough one this past weekend. But if he does want to come back at some point, I think that’s a good fight.
