In June, former interim champion Dustin Poirier gave a valiant but unsuccessful performance against division champion Islam Makhachev. The 35-year-old had announced that the fight could be his last. However, it appears the story is not over.
A recent Reddit post suggests that Poirier is making a comeback, not against a lightweight contender but potentially facing welterweight contender and rival Colby Covington, who has a habit of attacking Poirier and involving his family, at the upcoming UFC event at Madison Square Garden in November.
These rumors were considered speculation until recently, when Dustin Poirier dropped a bombshell on his Instagram account. With a picture and the caption, “The game goes on,” Poirier further confirmed the rumors, making them seem almost certain. The only thing left is the official announcement from the UFC and representatives for Poirier and Covington.
