UFC planning my retirement fight in New Orleans

Dustin Poirier may get his wish of having his final UFC fight at home.

Poirier (30-8 MMA, 22-7 UFC) is looking to compete one more time before calling it a career, and the former interim lightweight champion is currently working with the UFC on making it happen in his home state of Louisiana.

“The Diamond” is coming off a title loss to lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 302 this past June.

“I wish I could tell you more. I’ve actually been having calls every week with the UFC,” Poirier told The Schmo. “But it’s looking like summer in New Orleans is close to happening for my retirement fight. A pay-per-view in New Orleans this summer would be incredible.

“That’s what I’m pushing for. That’s what the UFC’s working toward, and things are getting pretty close: Lay the gloves down where it all started in Louisiana. It would be an honor for me.”

Four months ago, MMA Junkie obtained records showing that during a September meeting of the Louisiana State Boxing & Wrestling Commission, members discussed the UFC’s interest in heading to New Orleans in 2025. The UFC hasn’t hosted an event in Louisiana since Dan Henderson finished Tim Boestch in a Fight Night headliner in June 2015. Poirier also competed on that card and finished Yancy Medeiros by first-round TKO.

Be sure to visit the MMA Junkie Instagram page and YouTube channel to discuss this and more content with fans of mixed martial arts.
