The loss marked the end of a fantastic, 12-fight unbeaten streak for the Californian.\u00a0With Poirier ostensibly off the table, it&#8217;s not clear who Ferguson will fight next, though Dan Hooker and Charles Oliveira both seem like strong possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>The next move for Dustin Poirier, on the other hand, is also a mystery. With a Ferguson fight no longer in the pipeline, he&#8217;ll also have to look elsewhere in the search for his next opponent. That being said, it seems that he and the UFC are currently at odds in terms of his payment for his next fight.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you want to see Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier fight next now that we know they won&#8217;t be matched up against one another?
