The thought of fighting Justin Gaethje gets Dustin Poirier ’s juices flowing. Gaethje (24-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) outlasted Rafael Fiziev this past Saturday in the UFC 286 co-headliner and afterward expressed interest in running things back with either Charles Oliveira or Poirier – whom both scored stoppage wins against him. Poirier (29-7 MMA, 21-6 UFC) finished Gaethje by fourth-round TKO in their Fight of the Night battle in 2018. Since then, both men have gone 6-2, with their two losses coming in championship fights against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Oliveira. If the UFC offered Poirier the Gaethje rematch, he’d take it.
