Dustin Poirier stated that he was interested in a fight with former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria after he moved up to lightweight.
âWas I offered a fight with Topuria? No. When he said he was moving up to 70 kg, I wrote to the UFC: âHey, whatâs up? Let me know whatâs going on with this guy at 70 kg.â But they didnât pay attention to it. I was told that it wouldnât happen,â Poirier is quoted as saying by MMAJunkie.
