Dustin Poirier vs. Tony Ferguson appears all but confirmed at this point but, according to a recent interview on the UFC Unfiltered podcast, ‘The Diamond’ still hasn’t been offered a contract.
“I don’t have a contract yet,” Poirier said (h/t MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew). “I saw Dana talking about it. I know that they want it. I know they want it on the same card as Khabib and Gaethje. I’m just waiting. I’m just waiting to talk to them.”
Despite this Poirier, who recently beat Dan Hooker in a Fight of the Night epic at UFC on ESPN 12, has already started training for the bout and expects the fight to take place in the UFC 254 co-main event on Oct.
