Dustin Poirier is seemingly open to transitioning into movies like Conor McGregor.
McGregor is undoubtedly the biggest star that the sport of MMA has ever seen. Moreover, he is also one of the most famous athletes on the planet. While he has been out of action for nearly three years, he recently made his Hollywood debut with the movie, ‘Road House.’
The movie proved to be a great success on Amazon Prime, and it looks like it has motivated one of his biggest rivals to enter the movie business.
During a recent appearance on Theo Von’s podcast, Dustin Poirier was asked if he would be open to acting. To which he replied by saying: “I’d like to, you know? It’s something different. It’s exciting because I’ve never done it before, it’s a new challenge, keeps me busy. I got to be busy, man. That’s my thing”

Dustin Poirier’s next fight will most likely be against Islam Makhachev
Islam Makhachev has been out of action since October last year when he faced Alexander Volkanovski in a rematch. There were rumors that he was potentially moving up and fighting Leon Edwards, but they seemed to have fallen through.
Interestingly, it now looks like Dustin Poirier might be next in line for a title shot. Poirier was most recently seen in action against Benoit-Saint Denis. After previously suffering a KO loss at the hands of Justin Gaethje, ‘The Diamond’ walked into the fight as an underdog. However, he secured an emphatic KO victory.
That said, it will be interesting to see if Poirier goes up against Islam Makhachev next or not.
