Dustin Poirier Signs New UFC Contract, Sets Up Massive Fights Ahead

Dustin Poirier just locked in a new multi-fight deal with the UFC and the lightweight division is about to get VERY interesting. The Diamond has been on an absolute tear and this contract means more of one of the most exciting fighters in the game going against the best competition.

For those who dont follow MMA closely, Poiriers career trajectory is remarkable. He got knocked out by Conor McGregor early in his career and could have faded. Instead he moved to lightweight, reinvented his game, and has been putting on clinic after clinic. The rematch where he stopped Conor? Chef’s kiss.

The new contract reportedly puts Poirier among the highest-paid non-champions. ESPN reported on the contract details and what it means for upcoming matchups.

MMA Fighting coverage notes speculation about potential title implications for the lightweight division.

Off the mat, Poiriers charity work through the Good Fight Foundation has become a significant part of his brand. The economics of fighter pay in combat sports remain controversial but top names are finally seeing significant paydays.

Islam Makhachev, Charles Oliveira, Justin Gaethje – the potential matchups are mouth-watering. This contract ensures The Diamond will be hunting for gold for the foreseeable future.
