Media Dustin Poirier calls for a rematch with Islam Makhachev

[Poirierfan]

He got suspended for punching a fan on the walkout for the Charles fight. Will be out at least 6 mos, and Islam wants to fight sooner.

First I've heard of it, that sucks.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

No please no.

First I've heard of it, that sucks.

Arman will be ready to fight in November, Islam has never said he wants to fight sooner. He would like MSG which is november.

Is today stupid day? First this with Dustin rematch, now Chandler? Seems like there is an angle for the same guys in title fights even past expiration date.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Is Arman definitely suspended for certain? its hard to keep up with these things and is not very clear

 

[bambammccoy]

yeah, it's him just trying to milk more money. ever since the Conor fights he's been only trying to get money fights.

Makes sense to me tbh

 

[Local Plata]

This is prize fighting, especially the UFC.

That's why Conor keeps getting main-event slots. Conor even main-evented in a non-title fight over a championship fight.

I don't why this is news to you.

Adesanya is about to fight in another title fight ffs

Oh I get why the UFC does it. It's retarded, and fans should be irritated by it more than they are, because most MMA fans now are pro wrestling 'storylines' fangirls so the UFC gets no push back on the ridiculousness. That was my point.

From the news coming out, they handed him a 9 month suspension, that can be cut to a 6 month suspension retroactive to the date of the incident if he does an anti-bully PSA, which seems like he will do. So, the fight is not in jeopardy unless Arman says no to the anti-bullying PSA.

Dustin and Chandler are just shooting their shot, unlikely either of them gets it.

Thank you brother, that is much clearer now. Hopefully he will do that PSA and get it out of the way. Its the right fight to make next. No immediate rematch for Poirier because it was a clean win by submission, it wasn't some very controversial split decision. Also Chandler doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a title shot, losing record in UFC lol.. he should be nowhere near it.

 

[El Fernas]

One good win and it could happen, he did alright but there is no desire to watch that again, MMA work in very shallow talent pools, there are no tune up fights for him, its a contender just as hard or the champ rematch, no room for rebuild.
