Moments after his thrilling victory over Justin Gaethje in the UFC on Fox 29 headliner, Dustin Poirier used his microphone time to ask for what he believes he truly deserves.
“I’ve been through two weight classes, this is my 20th fight in the UFC. I know what it’s like to battle through adversity, get knocked down, get knocked out and stand back up,” Poirier said. “I would never ask for something unless I knew I earned it. So, Dana, Sean… Khabib, let’s go.”
Porier’s plea to UFC President Dana White and matchmaker Sean Shelby did not go unheard.
