The world of UFC never fails to deliver drama, especially when it comes to last-minute fight card shuffles. And fans are in for some spicy developments brewing for UFC 309! Rumors had started swirling about Charles Oliveira potentially needing a replacement for his upcoming battle with Michael Chandler. This made Dustin Poirier throw his hat into the ring with a simple yet powerful response.
Poirier has quite a history with both potential opponents. He’s already danced with Chandler in a memorable scrap, and his battle with Oliveira for the lightweight strap was nothing short of spectacular. So, fighting either of them is sure to be a barnburner. He gave a 2-word reply on X about this potential fight happening.
“I’m in,” Poirier wrote on X. He has been taking a breather since his valiant effort against Islam Makhachev back in June. But he is more than willing to step in on short notice against any of these two lightweights.

Whether or not this potential shake-up actually materializes, one thing’s for certain – UFC 309 is shaping up to be one heck of an event. Jon Jones will defend his heavyweight crown against Stipe Miocic in the main event. And now all this co-main event drama has fight fans in for a treat.

Dustin Poirier welcomed a fresh-faced Holloway to the UFC with a triangle armbar submission in 2012. Fast forward to 2019, and these two warriors put on an absolute masterpiece at UFC 236, with Poirier once again getting his hand raised after five rounds. Now, he wants another go at the legendary featherweight.
“Last Dance,” Poirier responded to a fan’s comment.
Max Holloway is coming off a loss against Ilia Topuria. If he defends his BMF belt next, Dustin Poirier will be a top contender for that. Plus, ‘Blessed’ had recently revealed that he was moving permanently to lightweight. This might make things a bit easier for ‘Diamond’ to get that shot.
