I've been having calls every week with the UFC. But it's looking like summer, in New Orleans, is close to happening for my retirement fight. A pay-per-view in New Orleans this summer would be incredible. That's what I'm pushing for, that's what the UFC's working towards, and things are getting pretty close.
Poirier's last appearance in the octagon was in June 2024, at UFC 302, where he lost to Islam Makhachev by submission in the fifth round. His record stands at 30 wins and nine losses, with one bout ruled a no contest.
