Dustin Poirier is a really remarkable fighter. The former interim Top Combating Championship (UFC) Light-weight strap-hanger has fought an outrageously substantial-level of level of competition more than the a long time. Justin Gaethje, Eddie Alvarez, Max Holloway — Poirier goes toe-to-toe with champions, persistently placing on all-time terrific fights, at no smaller expense to his possess wellbeing.

Does “The Diamond” ought to have some excess hard cash for all his extraordinary effort and hard work?

The Louisiana-native believes so, and in advance of what would definitely confirm to be yet a different barn-burner opposite Tony Ferguson, he stood his ground in negotiations. UFC immediately moved on from the bout, labeling the negotiations unsalvageable.

Perhaps a little bit remarkably, Poirier’s would-be opponent Ferguson is on his aspect. “El Cucuy” tweeted out aid for Poirier, requesting UFC “pay the man” and make the combat come about.

UFC 254 is nonetheless about six weeks away, so maybe there’s a chance for all sides to appear to an arrangement. Until some thing remarkable occurs, however, it would seem that Dan Hooker is the somewhat probable option to substitute Poirier.
