UFC president Dana White has clarified the situation surrounding a possible fight of Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier, which, according to rumors, was supposed to take place at the 254th UFC tournament. The functionary said that they could not agree with Poirier, so this fight would not take place. At the same time, White announced that Ferguson will definitely perform at this event, and now they are looking for a new rival for him.
UFC 254 will take place on October 24 in Abu Dhabi. The event will be headlined by a duel of the lightweight champion of the promotion Khabib Nurmagomedov and the interim champion of this division Justin Gaethje.
