Dustin Poirier expressed interest in potentially facing former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria should Topuria make the move up to the lightweight division.
Regarding the possibility of such a fight, Poirier clarified that he was not formally offered the bout. He revealed that upon hearing of Topuria`s intention to transition to the 70 kg weight class, he proactively contacted the UFC to inquire about the situation and express his willingness to fight him at that weight. However, Poirier noted that the promotion did not seem receptive to the idea and informed him that the matchup would not be happening.
