Dustin says he wants a top five fighter, but I don't think that's very likely. The only one I could see them giving him is Pettis and apparently he's going to 145.
Michael Johnson is ranked one spot higher (#8) than Poirier (#9) even though he's coming off back to back losses. One of those was a bad decision and the other is to now superstar Nate Diaz. Dustin has looked great since his return to 155 but I'm eager to see him against stiffer competition.
I think this fight makes sense...
How about Poirier vs. Johnson?
