Dustin Poirier wants Charles Oliveira to get the next title shot over Justin Gaethje
"UFC 257 is the pay-per-view that belonged to Dustin Poirier. The Diamond avenged his loss to Conor McGregor from six years ago and defeated The Notorious One stunningly to hand the Irishman his first TKO loss ever.
In the post-fight press conference, Dustin Poirier was asked about what's lined up for him from here onwards. While it is likely that UFC will book him in a lightweight title fight against Michael Chandler, The Diamond believes that it should Charles Oliveira, who deserves to get the recognition."
Charles Oliveira responds to Dustin Poirier's UFC 257 post-fight praise: 'Let's do it'
"Unlike some of his lightweight contender counterparts, Charles Oliveira stayed respectful following the conclusion of UFC 257.
Oliveira (30-8 MMA, 18-8 UFC), who currently rides an eight-fight winning streak, wasted no time congratulating Dustin Poirier (27-6 MMA, 20-6 UFC) for his main event victory over Conor McGregor on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
First in Portuguese, and then in English, Oliveira sent out back-to-back tweets praising Poirier’s performance.
“Congrats man,” Poirier wrote. “Great victory.”
In a third tweet, Oliveira congratulated Poirier once again, but this time, expressed interest in a matchup against him in the near future.
“I hope to see you soon, @DustinPoirier,” Oliveira wrote. “Once again congrats (on) last night’s performance. Hard work pays off, and you delivered. Let’s do it.”
I like this match I'm down.
