2021 has proven to be quite the year for The Diamond. The former interim UFC lightweight champion started off with a victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 257. Then at the recent UFC 264 pay-per-view, Poirier once again defeated the Irishman in their trilogy bout.

With two wins over McGregor, Dustin Poirier is now expected to fight for the UFC lightweight championship in the near future. The Diamond is expected to face Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight title and it is only a matter of when the fight will officially be booked.

However, in recent weeks, Poirier has also tried to spark rumors of him possibly fighting Nate Diaz next.
