Dustin Poirier is coming off of a third-round submission loss to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi earlier this month.
This loss has resulted in fans wondering as to what should be next for him, although he has been very vocal about fighting former two-division champion Conor McGregor in a rematch. The first fight ended in a first-round TKO victory for the Irishmen.

Do you guys want to see Dustin Poirier fight at welterweight and who should he fight at his 170lbs debut?
