Someone is expected to “bleed” in “Dirty Jersey.”
“I’m approaching 18 years of fighting and I wanna become the world champion and live my life,” Poirier told Fight Bananas. “It could be [my last fight]. I haven’t made an official decision yet, but it could be. I’ve said this over and over again, I still have a lot of tread on the tires I can beat these young guys — I just did it. But how much do I want to give to this sport? Because you don’t ride for free.”
