Poirier recently expressed his willingness to enter the octagon again as he urged UFC president Dana White to book him for a fight as soon as possible.
Following his trilogy fight victory over McGregor at UFC 264, Poirier was offered a title shot at UFC 269, where he faced Charles Oliveira. 'The Diamond', however, was unable to get his hands on the gold as he was handed a loss in the third round of the match.
Since his last outing against 'Do Bronx' in December last year, Poirier has been out of the cage for quite some time now. Tweeting on the matter, he wrote:
"I want to fight"
I want to fight
Following their heated Twitter exchanges in recent months, there have been several rumors of a fight between him and Nate Diaz, but the fight is yet to materialize.
With so much uncertainty surrounding his future UFC fights, it will be interesting to see if the UFC star tries his hand at the pro-wrestling promotion.
