“Come on dude, no thank, retire we good. Who the f*ck is ‘we?! You simply go right here, buddy. You’re not one in every of us. You’re not ‘we.’ I’ve been right here. ‘We’re good.’ Who’s we? Welcome to the UFC, dude. You’ve received one win within the UFC… Yeah, bro. He’s not one in every of us. I’ve been chopping my enamel within the UFC since January of 2011 or 2010. He simply received right here. Who’s we? He’s talking for the light-weight division? Muscle Milk Mike wants to relax,” Poirier stated.
Despite the fact that Dustin Poirier fought and completed Michael Chandler, it seems there is no such thing as a love misplaced between the 2, and ‘The Diamond’ doesn’t like what ‘Iron’ has to say.
Though Poirier is taking pictures at Chandler, it’s unlikely the 2 will combat once more as ‘The Diamond’ is hinting at retiring. However, if the 2 do combat once more the lead-up could be stuffed with trash discuss and it could be an all-action combat.
