Paddy Pimblett wants Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira next

After his second failed attempt at a world title last year, Dustin Poirier is looking to find the most memorable bout before riding off into the sunset.

Rumors of Justin Gaethje, Dan Hooker, and even Colby Covington potentially facing Poirier began circulating in the recent months. After UFC 314 last weekend, another man may have thrown his name into the hat: Paddy Pimblett.

After utterly demolishing Michael Chandler, Pimblett declared that he wants anybody in the top five, in which 'The Diamond' sits at No.5.

In his post-fight octagon interview, Pimblett said:

"I want that world title. All laugh, all youse want, and say 'I'll never be champ'. Just like you said 'I'll never get ranked', 'I'll never be on the top ten'. But what now? You gang of mushrooms! I want Dustin [Poirier], Justin [Gaethje], Charles [Oliveira], or the little posh boy Arman [Tsarukyan]. Any of them four."

He added:

"Yes Gaethje! I respect Dustin, Justin, and Charles. Charles is the biggest legend out of them all. And he gets called the best submitting artist the UFC's ever seen. Well, I dispute that! I'm here so me versus Charles."
