Dustin Poirier calls for USADA abolishment if Conor McGregor lands exemption: ‘Just remove it completely’

Former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier has called for anti-doping agency, USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) to be abolished, if rumors come to fruition regarding a potential exemption offered to former two-weight champion and three-time foe, Conor McGregor by the UFC, to allow him to compete inside the Octagon again.

Poirier, the current number three ranked lightweight contender, most recently headlined UFC 291 back in July in Salt Lake City, Utah – suffering a spectacular rematch loss to fellow former interim champion, Justin Gaethje in the pair’s symbolic BMF championship fight.

Dropping his first knockout defeat since a 2016 strikes finish loss to common-foe, Michael Johnson, Poirier was stopped with a stunning second round high-kick knockout loss to the Arizona native.
