‘It’s a fight that makes me nervous’ — Dustin Poirier welcomes Justin Gaethje rematch

Dustin Poirier is interested in a potential rematch with Justin Gaethje.

In the co-headliner of UFC 286 this past Saturday, Gaethje defeated Rafael Fiziev by majority decision in a ‘Fight of the Night’ awarded appearance. During his post-fight interview with UFC color commentator Daniel Cormier, the ‘Highlight’ said he would have ‘one more run at the title’, which Islam Makhachev now holds.

For Gaethje, that run would include a pair of rematches against Charles Oliveira and the aforementioned Poirier, who he suffered a fourth-round TKO loss to at UFC on FOX 29 nearly five years ago.
