Veteran head coach, Mike Brown believes his long-time student, Dustin Poirier will follow through with pre-fight plans to retire from combat sports after UFC 318 this summer, but in his opinion, there may be a world where the Lafayette striker fights again.
Poirier, who headlines on home soil this summer, returns to his native Louisana, to take on symbolic BMF champion, Max Holloway in a trilogy fight in New Orleans.
And sidelined since June of last year, the former interim champion failed in his third bid to snatch undisputed gold, dropping a fifth round D’Arce choke submission loss against soon-to-be former champion, Islam Makhachev.
