Since the past few weeks, there’s been widespread speculation about a blockbuster matchup between top-ranked lightweights Dustin Poirier and Tony Ferguson at the upcoming UFC 254 pay-per-view on October 24. However, the fight is now unlikely to come to fruition because the UFC couldn’t strike a deal with Poirier regarding the latter’s purse for the fight.
Although Poirier couldn’t agree terms with the promotion for the fight against Tony Ferguson, he said that he was still keen on fighting “El Cucuy” at a later date if his demands are met. However, UFC President Dana White subsequently squashed the idea by announcing that he is working on “another fight” instead for Tony Ferguson.
