UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier took to Twitter and thwarted any rumors of a possible match-up with Tony Ferguson. A user on the platform asked ‘The Diamond’ whether the highly anticipated match-up was on the cards. Poirier responded in a way only he could and shut down the bout that has fight fans champing at the bit.

Additionally, he interacted with fans over several other points of consideration, including a fight with Conor McGregor. Once again, Dustin Poirier seemed disinterested in the conversation in any capacity as ‘The Notorious’ McGregor is retired. The Louisiana native has always been a straight shooter in the fight game and his aspirations in the sport.
