Former interim lightweight titleholder, Dustin Poirier has confirmed he will have news on his final Octagon outing before hanging up his gloves following a storied UFC career.
Poirier, who retains the number four ranked lightweight challenger, has been sidelined since he took main event honors at UFC 302 back in June, forcing undisputed champion and pound-for-pound number one, Islam Makhachev to the fifth round in an eventual D’Arce choke submission loss to the Russian.
A former interim champion, Lafayette striker, Poirier’s most recent win came in the form of a rallying second round strikes finish win over recent UFC Fight Night Paris headliner, Benoit Saint-Denis, halting the Nimes native’s roughshod run through the lightweight ranks.
