I think Poirier should fight Iaquinta or Pettis. Pettis can also be tested with someone bigger than Jim Miller. Poirier isn't bigger than Pettis but is dangerous everywhere(he mauled Joe Duffy on the ground and has variety in his subs)
 
I kind of regard Iaquinta like a Diaz. Retires after every fight. Willing to sit out till he cools off and UFC makes things right. Don't really see any point in trying to imagine good fights for him. There's lots of good fights for him, but we don't even know if he's coming back or not, and if he does, then when?

Looking at the rankings, it might make sense to Poirier up against Barboza or Chiesa. It seems like Pettis needs a slow build to get his confidence back. I don't think he's back after a win against an unranked guy. Pettis should be fighting someone out of the top 10.

Poirier vs Lee is the fight to make.

Poirier's last win was against that same unranked guy though, and he had more trouble than Anthony. So it would make sense if they did make Dustin vs Pettis.
 
The UFC is trying to make Alvarez vs Gaethje. Gaethje is on a 6 month medical suspension, however so he will have to be cleared by a doctor if he wants to compete later this year.
 
I'd rather see MJ vs Showtime, Porier vs Iaquinta, & Lee vs Barboza.

In other current news Japan unleashed a horrific attack on Pearl Harbor today

+1 on Poirier vs Pettis
 
Misleading title. Im sorry but Alvarez is not Porier.

Check the time that I posted that and when the news was released dickhead. Maybe you should just stick with posting GIFs of Daniel Cormier shaking his head and stop trying to use words.
 
Reading this thread is making me realize this division is very tough. I don't see Khabib staying undefeated for long if he decides to show up to fight.
