UFC’s Dustin Poirier set to meet Garry Tonon in grappling match

Dustin Poirier has been calling out all sorts of UFC lightweights in an attempt to get back into the Octagon. Nothing has come together though, so he’ll take his talents to the grappling mat instead. Poirier recently took to social media to announce that he will compete against grappling superstar Garry Tonon in the main event of SubStars at the Fillmore on February 21st:

The event will take place in Miami Beach, not too far from where Poirier trains. He hasn’t competed in the cage since a loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in September, which ended a four-fight win streak.
