A legendary welterweight sheds light on a potential matchup with Poirier.
The third time wasn't the charm for Poirier who challenged for lightweight gold in the main event of UFC 302 last weekend.

"The Volkanovski fight could, you know, that's a fun fight. I'm not in any way throwing my hat in, but if he wants to go up, hey, that's a fun fight.
