MIAMI – Despite his tenure in the sport,Dustin Poirier is still hungry to become an undisputed UFC champion.
The former interim champion and seasoned veteran made it clear that he has all the intention of working his way back to the top, so he can challenge for UFC gold once again. Poirier (30-8 MMA, 22-7 UFC) let the world know of his ultimate goal following his vicious KO win over Benoit Saint-Denis (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at Saturday’s UFC 299.
“That’s the only reason I’m fighting,” Poirier said at the post-fight news conference. “I started fighting to be the world champion, to be the best in the world, undisputed. We have to see. I have to get home, talk to my coaches, my wife, and my management, and we’ll see what’s next. I don’t know. But yes, I’ve done a lot in this sport.
