Does Dustin Poirier retire if he loses to Islam Makhachev?

[legcramp]

Probably Max Hollaway III for BMF belt.

 

[gentel]

Personally I think he could and should stick around for one last rodeo in more of a BMF type of affair like a Max rematch or Gaethje trilogy, or fight a striker like Fiziev

 

[Timewarp]

He'll probably say that was his last fight , then after a short while announces he doesn't "want to go out like that" and returns.

dude's not even trying to hide that he loves fighting the old dawgs.

Yous a tosser if ya think Dustin is an easy fight.

 

[humperdoo]

Dustin is too good to retire. He might even win against Islam. Keep the distance and then stun Islam with his right jab and then strike his left for the finish.

Just busting ya balls….i was very careful about not saying he’s washed

I expected him to retire is he lost to BSD, I think he knows this is his last shot at the belt. Fighters often have a change of heart tho lol

 

[flowoftruth]

He emotionally retires then changes his mind later stating that he doesn't want to go out like that .. then he sticks around for a few more fun fights

 

[r-harper-1]

He’ll retire for attention and then come back in 6 months

After I dispose Bobby in the first round, me and Dustin for his retirement fight. Would be an honor.

Lol, dude you got beat by Gordon and the entire world seen it.
Dustin Poirier would smash you like a pornstar.

 

[StonedLemur]

if thats really you then good call and hespect

Poor Paddy would get smoked by Dustin sir lol.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Poor Paddy would get smoked by Dustin sir lol.

I imagine so. If that really is him though then props to him for the respectful call out

 

[StonedLemur]

Fair enough sir.

If you are going to go out on a loss, Islam isn't the worst name.

 

[OmegaRugal]

I am not saying he SHOULD just that he could.

Fair. If I'm his manager ... and if he wins ... I would recommend stay if Conor wins his next fight.

You know UFC would for sure make that title fight if Both Dustin and Conor win.

Collect PPV points in a Conor title defense ... then retire.

If Dustin wins and Conor wins that 100% will happen. If Dustin wins and Conor loses then I would easily see Max vs Dustin happening. In fact that could happen in the event Dustin beats Islam and then Conor. Defenses against Conor and then Max would seriously feather Poirier's nest.
