UFC on FOX 30 was big for Dustin Poirier . Poirier staked his claim a legit UFC lightweight title contender with a second-round finish of ex-champion Eddie Alvarez in the UFC on FOX 30 headliner this past Saturday at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. While the chances of an immediate shot at 155-pound champion Khabib Nurmagomedov are slim to none with the impending return of Conor McGregor , Poirier can lay claim to something significant: He’s jumped “The Notorious” in our latest lightweight rankings. To see how the latest week of MMA impacted the top 15 in each division, check out the rankings above.
