Dustin Poirier has said that he would 'probably retire' the second he would win a title belt. UFC 302 will be his last shot, and he knows it.
Dustin Poirier is on the back-nine of his splendid UFC career. In fact, he may be headed to the clubhouse very soon. The 35-year-old will be the challenger for Islam Makhachev's UFC Lightweight Championship on June 1 at UFC 302 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. It is Poirier's third time fighting for an undisputed title. He lost each of the previous two. Poirier lost to Charles Oliveira at UFC 269 by submission on Dec.
The Lafayette, Louisiana, native knows that this is his final chance to finally win a belt. 'I know this is my shot, I won’t get another one,' Porier said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. At the time, Porier said he would 'probably retire right there' if he won a potential championship fight against Makhachev. He was unsure what would happen with a loss, and he still is.
