Rumours are circulating that Dustin Poirier could fight Nate Diaz in his UFC retirement fight with ‘Diamond’ seeking an opponent for his farewell bout.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who Could Dustin Poirier Fight In His Last Fight?<\/h2>\n

Dustin Poirier has had quite the MMA career, that’s for sure. He is a UFC<\/a> stalwart and has had plenty of highs and lows in his career, with potentially one more big night left in him before he hands up his gloves for good.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old has revealed that he wishes to have one more fight before retiring, with fans adding their opinion on who ‘The Diamond’ should face in his farewell bout.<\/p>\n

Plenty of names have been thrown about as potential opponents for the three-time UFC Lightweight Title challenger, but as of yet none have been confirmed.<\/p>\n

As of today, Poirier is 36-years-old and has had a total of 40 fights in his MMA career. A staggering 31 of these bouts have come in the UFC, with just nine fights of Poirier’s happening outside of the organisation before he became a UFC fighter.<\/p>\n

During his incredible career, ‘The Diamond’ has challenged for the 155-pound belt on three separate occasions. Unfortunately, Poirier has lost all three to Khabib Nurmagomedov, Charles Oliveira<\/a> and Islam Makhachev<\/a> respectively.<\/p>\n

However, he also has some monumental wins too with victories over Conor McGregor<\/a>, Max Holloway<\/a>, Justin Gaethje, Dan Hooker and Michael Chandler<\/a> to name but a few. Now, it is strongly rumoured that Poirier could bow out of the UFC with one final fight against a fellow MMA legend.<\/p>\n
