‘I’m Welcoming the Fight’: Kamaru Usman Expresses Desire to Face Dustin Poirier if He Moves Up to 170 Pounds
Another UFC Champion wants to fight Dustin Poirier
Not only was former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman impressed with Dustin Poirier, but former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski was impressed by Diamond’s performance and wants to fight him in the future.
Alexander Volkanvski and Dustin Poirier are the only UFC fighters who gave Islam Makhachev a hard time inside the Octagon and made him look human by hurting him.
Just after UFC 302, Alexander Volkanovski uploaded a video where he talked about potentially fighting Dustin Poirier before going for a championship rematch against Ilia Topuria.
Alexander Volkanovski said, “Maybe depending on what I'm doing. Obviously, I want to fight later in the year. If the timing works maybe me and Dustin can have a good fight. I know he just wants good, fun fights. I think that would be a massive fight, so that's something that I'd be willing to do."
Alexander Volkanovski and Dustin Poirier are two of the best strikers in the UFC, and a fight between these two fan favorites could be an absolute war, a fight fans will not forget for ages. If Dustin Poirier decides to jump back on the ship and fight, he definitely has some big names to fight with.
Fans are also suggesting Dustin Poirier should fight the UFC BMF champion Max Holloway for a third time. Max Holloway recently captured the UFC BMF championship after he knocked out former BMF champion Justin Geathje at UFC 300. Even the fight between Dustin and Max Holloway for the third could be fantastic for Diamond. Only time will unveil what's next for Dustin Poirier.
