Poirier to Nurmagomedov: Polish the belt, he will go to my house

American UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier has no doubt that he is able to defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"Returning to the Octagon? It all depends on what I'm offered. I'm aiming for a fight with Khabib. It is important to understand that McGregor and Ferguson can return - they are ahead of me in the title race. But if they are out of the game, then I'm the number one contender. Khabib, polish the belt now and take care of it. He will go to my house," Poirier said in an interview to TMZ.

Over the weekend, Poirier defeated Justin Gaethje and secured himself in the status of one of the contenders for the title.
