Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier has claimed that a summer re-run with fellow former division interim gold holder, Justin Gaethje is likely next on the cards for him, denying suggestions to boot that he was uninterested in the showdown.
Poirier, the current #2 ranked lightweight contender under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined since November of last year, featuring on the main card of UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden.
Returning to the winner’s enclosure against common-foe, Michael Chandler, Lafayette fan-favorite, Poirier submitted the former with an impressive third round rear-naked choke win.
