UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier responded to Beneil Dariush after he suggested that Poirier should hang up the gloves.<\/p>\n

The former UFC interim lightweight champions’ latest outing occurred at UFC 281 in November at Maddison Square Garden against Michael Chandler. After enduring the early storm from Chandler, Poirier recuperated, eventually latching onto a rear-naked choke in the third round<\/a>. The back-and-forth brawl cemented itself in the history books.<\/p>\n

After the bout, Poirier remained unsettled on his path back to the title. The 33-year-old explained he desired to fight against big names in exciting fights.\u00a0<\/span>Poirier respectfully snubbed the idea of fighting backwards in the division<\/span><\/a>, which caused some annoyance to the up-and-coming contenders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During an interview with Submission Radio<\/a>, Dariush suggested it’s perhaps time for Poirier to close the curtain on his career.<\/div>\n

UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush suggest Dustin Poirier retires<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI wish he\u2019d be a little bit more clear as to, what is it that doesn\u2019t excite him about me?\u201d Dariush said (transcribed by\u00a0MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cAre my fights not exciting enough? Or is it a skill issue? Or is it just because I don\u2019t have the name? Because if it\u2019s just because of the name, he should really consider \u2014 and I say this as nicely as possible, I\u2019m not trying to be a d***, but he should really consider retiring.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cBecause if you\u2019re going to look for the names, if you\u2019re going to look to fight only guys that the name will get you, bro, there\u2019s dogs coming. There\u2019s dogs, and they\u2019re young and they\u2019re hungry. They\u2019re looking to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dariush feels it’s the wrong approach for Poirier to wait for the most enticing matchups, considering he’s already fought the most elite of the division.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s guys out there already and there\u2019s not a whole lot of Michael Chandlers left out there in the division. How many more fights like that can you get? You\u2019re going to have to fight one of these dogs, and currently I\u2019m at the forefront of these guys.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo either step up or think about doing something else. He seems successful so, if you\u2019re not genuinely \u2014 fighting is not a sport you want to be half-hearted about. So if he\u2019s not 100 percent in, he should really reconsider what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poirier responds<\/h3>\n

Earlier today, Poirier responded to the retirement call from Dariush.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/DustinPoirier\/status\/1612452812843061249<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for the advice Benny! I\u2019ll take it into consideration. Not sure if you\u2019re into hot sauce or not but if you are free Shipping on me!\u201d Poirier tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Poirier has established himself as a fan favourite in recent years with the action he brings inside the cage, and it seems like the 35-fight veteran has no burning desire for lacklustre fights at the back end of his career.<\/p>\n
