NEWARK, N.J. – Dustin Poirier isn’t sure what’s next.
Heading into UFC 302, Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) considered whatever happened in Saturday’s title fight “destiny.” But now that he’s found out winning was not in the cards, Poirier struggles to decipher what it all means for his future.
As he sat on stage with his red “WAR” hat and floral shirt after his submission loss to Islam Makhachev, Poirier worked through the debate aloud, though he knew a decision would not come in the immediate.
