In the latest episode of his Believe You Me podcast, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping weighed in on the potential clash between Oliveira and Poirier. ‘The Count’ feels that it will be a tough matchup for both men. Having said that, Bisping has his money on Dustin Poirier winning the fight.
Bisping expects the fight to sell a “sh*t ton” of pay-per-views. This is due to Dustin Poirier’s popularity currently being through the roof after his victories over Conor McGregor this year:
The promotion is reportedly targeting a December date for Oliveira and Poirier to lock horns in a much-anticipated title clash. UFC 269, which is set to take place on December 11 will likely be headlined by Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira. Although neither fighter has signed the dotted line yet, the UFC is expecting to get both men on board for the December date.
