After an impressive first round win at UFC 143, rising star Dustin Poirier seems poised to make a title run in the near future.
Defeating Max Holloway with a mounted triangle armbar, Poirier took home Submission of the Night as well as his fifth straight victory. The win keeps intact Poirier’s undefeated streak within the UFC and has catapulted him into the upper tier of the division.
With such a scattered contender line up in the wake of UFC champion Jose Aldo‘s utter dominance over the division, a matchup between Poirier and the champ may come sooner than expected.
Here is the full breakdown of this possible future bout.
