Dustin Poirier explained why he refused the fight with Beneil Dariush, although he had previously said that he was not opposed to meeting him in a candidate fight.

“Honestly, this fight doesn’t excite me. Beneil is a great fighter, he does everything right, behaves respectfully, and he is a real hard worker. But when we talk about opponents with whom I fought not so long ago, this fight does not arouse my interest. I like the tension between me and the opponent when I am in conflict with him. When I am not in conflict with my opponent, I am in conflict with myself."

Recall that Poirier defeated Michael Chandler at UFC 281 last weekend.
