Dustin Poirier Eyes Final UFC Showdown in Louisiana

The former interim lightweight champion plans to retire after one or two more fights, targeting a home state event.

Dustin Poirier has announced plans for his retirement, aiming to fight one or two more times before stepping away from the UFC.
He expressed a strong desire for his final fight to take place in Louisiana, ideally in Lafayette or New Orleans.
Poirier is working with the UFC to arrange a fight in his home state, though scheduling challenges may require him to fight elsewhere first.
He has named Justin Gaethje and Dan Hooker as potential opponents for his remaining fights, seeking tough competition.
Poirier's decision follows his recent loss to Islam Makhachev, after which he considered retiring if he had won the lightweight title.
