While engaging with fans on Twitter, Dustin Poirier stated he’s willing to shave his head if the UFC announces his fight
Dustin Poirier has made it quite clear that the only fight that excites him at this point is a fight against MMA superstar Nate Diaz. He also spilt the beans in a podcast with Teddy Atlas that the fight is close to fruition.
The UFC isn’t particularly fond of fighters disclosing internal discussions or fight announcements. Many have speculated this as the reason for the fight announcement against the Stockton slugger being stalled.
‘The Diamond’ during his latest fan engagement activity on Twitter stated that he is willing to shave his head if the UFC announces the fight.
He replied to a fan by saying:
“Actually been thinking about it bro, I’ll shave it if they announce my fight.”
Dana White has confirmed that the UFC is interested in a fight between the two and they are working on putting a date to it.
Dustin Poirier recently posted a picture with MMA royalty and legend Fedor Emelianenko. He used a GOAT emoji to caption the post.
It is worth noting that the walkaround weight of 182lbs is 27lbs more than his fight division weight – 155lbs. Poirier has also stated that he bulks up to 200lbs sometimes.
