Al Iaquinta calls for fight with Dustin Poirier, who tells him to ‘pipe down’

Al Iaquinta is hoping to get back in the win column after losing his last two fights in the octagon, and “Ragin” Al wants to do that against Dustin Poirier.

Since winning a unanimous decision against Kevin Lee in 2018, Iaquinta has lost consecutive fights against Donald Cerrone and Dan Hooker. Meanwhile, Poirier had his four-fight winning streak snapped when he lost out to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov last September.

Talking to Ariel Helwani on Monday, Iaquinta said a fight between the two former title challengers is one that makes sense.

“He doesn’t have a fight coming up, that’s the fight,” Iaquinta said.
