That right leg is an absolute mess…
Following his epic victory over Gaethje, which is being touted as an early “fight of the year” candidate, Dustin Poirier decided to callout current UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in his post-fight interview.
Since losing to Conor McGregor at featherweight in 2014, Dustin Poirier has since gone 7-1 with one no-contest in nine fights at 155-pounds.
