“Dustin Poirier is a big star for us,” White told WDSU News. “He’s done a lot in the sport. This is for him and I’m honest with you. This is for him. He’s here because he wanted to have his final fight and end his career in New Orleans.”
“He is currently ranked fifth in the world in the lightweight category,” White said. “He’s a guy who has built his place in the top 10 for a very long time. He’s done a lot. He’s one of the greatest people ever. Thousands of people have fought in the UFC.
