Dustin Poirier Calls out Khabib Nurmagomedov: 'Let's F--king Fight' in September

UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier told TMZ Sports on Tuesday that he wants Khabib Nurmagomedov next.

"He knows what's up. I know what's up. Let's f--king fight," the 30-year-old said.

"I think September is perfect for this fight," Poirier said. "I believe that's when [Khabib's] suspension is over. That will give me plenty of time to decompress and get back into training camp. It's perfect."

Poirier beat Max Holloway via unanimous decision at UFC 236 for the interim title.
