Following his loss at UFC 302 against Islam Makhachev, Dustin Poirier has stated that he plans to have one final fight before he retires from MMA.

"I was fighting to be the world champion; like, what else am I fighting for? Just to fight for the thrill cause I am addicted to it, no doubt, but like for the money me, and my family are good and do not need the money. Money is great, but my health comes first." Poirier told reporters after his UFC 302 loss.

 Dustin Poirier's career in the UFC is marked by a series of thrilling fights, making him a standout figure in the sport. His trilogy with Conor McGregor, his battles with Justin Gaethje, and his encounters with Max Holloway have all been memorable. Poirier's commitment to delivering entertaining fights has earned him a special place in the hearts of combat sports fans worldwide. Fortunately, we can expect to see Poirier in the Octagon again.

"I will. Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this die, live and die on this day." Poirier responded to a fan asking him to fight once more.

 The prospect of Dustin Poirier's final fight has sent ripples of excitement through the global MMA community. The burning question on everyone's mind is, who will be his opponent in this historic bout?

 The most likely option for Poirier's next opponent is Justin Gaethje. They have met twice before and are each 1-1. A trilogy fight makes sense and would sell well. Their last meeting in 2023 was for the BMF title, which Gaethje won via second-round knockout due to a devastating head kick.

 On Tuesday afternoon, Poirier tweeted, "Trilogy?" causing speculation about a fight between him and Gaethje. This tweet, hinting at a potential third fight between the two, has added fuel to the fire of the potential match-up.

 However, there's another compelling option for Poirier's retirement fight. Among his many legendary rivalries, one stands out as the most intense. The rivalry between Poirier and Conor McGregor transcends the Octagon, delving into personal territory.

  "The fight didn't get finished. You cannot have a fight finish that way. So, we will see how this whole thing plays out." Dana White told reporters following McGregor vs Poirier 3 at UFC 264.

 It is a secret that Conor McGregor is looking for an opponent for a fight in early 2025. MMA fans would love to see the story between McGregor and Poirier finished.

 Whether it is Conor McGregor or Justin Gaethje, the anticipation is high for Poirier's final fight, which will undoubtedly be one of the biggest fights in UFC history.
