As reported by İdman.biz with reference to the “Championship”, the former interim UFC lightweight champion, American Dustin Poirier, admitted that he could retire after a fight with Russian Islam Makhachev.
“I may not have made an official decision yet, but anything is possible. I’ve said it over and over again, I still have a lot of tread left in my tyres, I can beat the young guys, I just did it… It’s all about how much I want to give to this sport.
I don’t want to make a decision based solely on how I feel. First I need to go out and fight, like I already did in Miami,” Sportskeeda quotes Poirier as saying.
Let us remember that the last time Dustin Poirier fought for the UFC lightweight title was in December 2021 at UFC 269. Then his opponent was Charles Oliveira. The Brazilian choked out Poirier in the third round.
Islam Makhachev in his last fight defended his championship belt in a rematch against the Australian and at that time the current UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Islam knocked out Alex in the first round.
