Dustin Poirier's foot has swollen to almost twice its normal size as the UFC star battles an infection in hospital.
Poirier returned to the octagon to defeat Michael Chandler in November to return to title contention after losing to Charles Oliveira six months prior. It is expected 'The Diamond' will return to the cage in 2023 with an eye on taking another step towards challenging newly crowned champion Islam Makhachev.
But Poirier has been taken to hospital to receive treatment on a staph infection in his foot, which was not yet responding to antibiotics. He then tweeted yesterday: "Going on day two in the hospital. S*** is getting serious." In a fresh update, his wife Jolie has posted a video of his foot from the hospital.
