When Dustin Poirier finally makes his return to action, he’s looking for the biggest and best fights available.
Initially targeted for a showdown with Dan Hooker at UFC San Diego, the former interim lightweight champion saw that fight fall by the wayside due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that put all events on hold indefinitely.
While he’s certainly still open to that fight, Poirier would be remiss if he didn’t try to jump on an even bigger opportunity. One name near the top of that wishlist is former two-division champion Conor McGregor, who previously defeated Poirier when they were both competing at featherweight.
