Dustin Poirier ‘can’t leave this sport on a loss,’ confirms list of possible next opponents

Dustin Poirier has a list of names.

At UFC 302, Poirier fell short in his bid to become lightweight champion, losing by fifth-round submission to Islam Makhachev. Following the bout, Poirier suggested it may have been his final fight in MMA, but in the past few weeks, “The Diamond” has walked that back, saying he still feels the urge to compete. And now it seems all but a forgone conclusion that Poirier will step back into the octagon at least once more.
