Dustin Poirier has spent the last seven years climbing the Ultimate Fighting Championship ladder, and though he has yet to reach the top, the American Top Team standout seems as determined as ever to get there.
Poirier will square off with former lightweight titleholder Anthony Pettis in the UFC Fight Night 120 main event this Saturday at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Virginia. Their five-round battle figures to shake up the pecking order at 155 pounds, where a line of contenders has begun to assemble behind reigning champion Conor McGregor.
