Any goodwill Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez built inside the octagon after this past Saturday’s UFC 211 appears to have evaporated. After Poirier (21-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC) defended former UFC lightweight champ Alvarez (28-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) against booing fans , Alvarez said Poirier “wanted out” of the fight after taking a trio of illegal knees that resulted in a no contest. @DustinPoirier Next fight is You … don't get too excited Your not the first guy to hurt me badly before I finished him ..knee or no knee U wanted out — Eddie Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) May 16, 2017 Now, Poirier just wants the UFC to book a rematch, or at least move him up the ladder for a more impactful fight
