Dustin Poirier opens up on capturing the lightweight title

Dustin Poirier is on a mission to capture the undisputed lightweight title. Despite two previous unsuccessful attempts, 'The Diamond' remains determined to add UFC gold to his already impressive resume.

Poirier's most recent outing saw him deliver a spectacular performance, knocking out Benoit Saint Denis in the second round at UFC 299 on Mar 9. This victory reignited Poirier's title aspirations, and reigning champion Islam Makhachev expressed interest in a potential June 2024 matchup.

Initially, fans anticipated Makhachev would defend his belt against Justin Gaethje, the current BMF champion. However, the UFC opted to pit Gaethje against former featherweight champion Max Holloway for a BMF title defense at UFC 300. This timeline makes a Gaethje-Makhachev fight unlikely to happen in June.

In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Makhachev acknowledged Poirier's impressive win at UFC 299 and the limited availability of other top contenders for a June bout. This opened the door for a potential clash with 'The Diamond'.

In a separate interview with Mackenzie Salmon, when asked if his career would feel incomplete without the undisputed title, Poirier's response was unequivocal:

"It's the only thing left for me to do. You know I've done everything else in the sport of mixed martial arts. I've created business -- business, multiple businesses. I've headlined so many cards. I've been 30 times in the UFC octagon. My family is set. Like, I've done everything I've set out to do, but capture the title. And that's the only thing left for me to do, and that's what I want."
