“I believe Poirier wins the fight. You heard it here first, I believe he's going to retire. Because when a fighter starts thinking about retirement, he should retire and I feel like Dustin poirier wins and retires. I think he wants to come out on top,” said Cejudo.

Former interim lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg), Dustin will have his second opportunity to win the Ultimate title. In October 2020, the 'Diamond' was completed by the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov No. UFC 242, which took place in Abu Dhabi (UAE). Since then, the North American has had three consecutive victories and has established himself as one of the main names in the division. The fighter has a record of 28 positive results and six negative results.
