Dana White opens up about Dustin Poirier vs Paddy Pimblett
Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier last locked horns with lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 302. The Dagestani phenom won the bout via submission in the final round of an enthralling five-rounder.
Despite the loss, Poirier’s performance was praised by Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team, fans, and pundits. While many believed it would be 'The Diamond's' final bout, he later confirmed that he would compete one more time.
There were rumors among fight fans that Paddy Pimblett might lock horns with 'The Diamond.'
Recently, during the UFC Saudi Arabia's post-fight press presser, when UFC CEO Dana White was questioned about a bout between Pimblett and Poirier, he opined:
"I don’t know. Off the top of my head right here I don’t know what we are doing with Paddy right now."
