Recently, Dustin 'Diamond' Poirier gave an interview on Jake Asman's YouTube Channel, where Diamond talked about his potential fourth fight with Conor McGregor. Dustin Poirier has finally given the green light to his potential fourth fight with Notorious.

Dustin Poirier said, "It could happen if the stars align; as I prepare to get ready for a fight week for the undisputed belt, and Conor McGregor is fighting a guy whose last fight, I choked him out. It just feels so far removed, and so many things have to happen before then."

While talking to Shakiel Mahjouri, Dustin Poirier reflected on dancing for the last time inside the UFC octagon in their career, "I'm not going to climb the ladder again. I've been doing this for a long time. It's a very selfish sport. I'm ready to be a father and be a husband and be home and be into a routine. I wouldn't say I can't do it again. I can do it again. It's just this is it for me. This could be the last one. I'm still on the fence, win or lose. I just want to be content with my career." 

Fans are highly anticipated to witness Dustin Poirier shock the world and become the UFC lightweight champion or Islam Makhachev continue his dominating champion reign. The riddle will be solved at UFC 302 pay-per-view.
