“With all do respect to him and his team the answer is no. Unless we make a different deal with the UFC” Poirier’s tweet read.
Dustin Poirier is on a hot streak at the moment, with three TKO victories in a row over Anthony Pettis, the former WSOF champ Justin Gaethje, and Eddie Alvarez, whom he defeated at UFC On Fox 30, on July 28, 2018. Poirier hasn’t fought since.
“The Diamond” was set to meet TUF 5 winner Nate Diaz at UFC 230 on November 3, 2018. Unfortunately, “The Diamond” suffered an injury, and he was forced to pull out.

The current UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov received a nine-month suspension for his role at UFC 229 post-fight incident, which could be reduced if he successfully completes an anti-bullying program. Conor McGregor was slapped with six months outside of Octagon too.
Since Khabib and Conor are punished by NSAC at the moment, the fight between #1 Tony Ferguson and #3 Dustin Poirier might be the next logical move. But will UFC let it happen? What are your thoughts on Poirier’s tweets?
