Dustin Poirier UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier can fight, but he’s also an impressive multitasker, as well. On today’s episode of MMAjunkie Radio, Poirier (18-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) defended his decision to pass on a short-notice headliner against Norman Parke (21-4-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) while trading tweets with the Irish fighter. After Joseph Duffy (14-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) scratched from this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 76 main event due to a pre-bout concussion , Parke was offered a chance to step in as the headliner – if Poirier agreed. But Poirier did not, believing the bout could be rescheduled and, he said, getting the UFC’s blessing. Two days after the event, he isn’t one bit regretful about his choice.
