Dustin Poirier's Retirement Fight Sparks Speculation

News summary

Dustin Poirier has announced his intent to retire after one last fight, sparking widespread speculation about his final opponent. Poirier insists on a 'legends only' bout, dismissing the possibility of fighting rising star Paddy Pimblett, despite public pressure from Nate Diaz and Pimblett himself. Diaz, who has frequently clashed with Poirier on social media, criticized Poirier for avoiding Pimblett, while Pimblett appreciated Diaz's support and issued a strong warning to Poirier. Jorge Masvidal defended Poirier, emphasizing the significance of his final fight. A potential matchup with Justin Gaethje is ruled out as Gaethje is scheduled to fight Dan Hooker soon. Meanwhile, Poirier's recent loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 302 adds to the intrigue surrounding his last appearance in the octagon.
