Dustin Poirier will fight Max Holloway in his final fight, but apparently had two other opponents in mind that the UFC shut down.

Dustin Poirier, a prominent figure in the UFC, recently shared on The MMA Hour that he had requested a fight against Ilia Topuria for what he considered might be his retirement bout, but the UFC did not entertain the idea. Poirier expressed his frustration over the lack of response from the UFC regarding this matchup, despite his interest in facing the rising star.

Poirier's last fight was a submission loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 302, and he is now weighing his options, including potentially fighting at UFC 309 in December.
