Dustin Poirier is ready to settle down.
On Saturday, June 1, ‘The Diamond’ will step inside the Octagon for the 31st time in his career when he challenges reigning and defending lightweight world champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 302. It’s a spot Poirier has been in before, having already attempted to take the title from former 155-pound kings Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.
But this time, it’s essentially do-or-die for the Lafayette, Louisiana native.
