In a recent tweet storm, former UFC fighter Dustin Poirier has sparked speculation about a potential return to the octagon for one last fight. While retirement hasn't been officially confirmed, Poirier's latest tweets have fans buzzing with excitement.

Poirier's last fight took place in the main event of UFC 302 in June, where he was submitted by lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in the fifth round. Many believed this would be Poirier's final opportunity to capture the undisputed UFC gold. However, Poirier remained noncommittal about his future in the sport during an interview with Joe Rogan after the loss.

On July 1, Poirier took to Twitter and began sharing his thoughts on various topics, including a couple of intriguing teases for one more fight. In one tweet, he wrote, "The Last Dance. Let em know," suggesting that fans may witness his final walk to the octagon.

The 36-year-old fighter didn't stop there. Drawing inspiration from his three-fight rival Conor McGregor, Poirier fired shots at the Irishman, whom he defeated in consecutive fights in 2021. He directly addressed McGregor, writing, "Hey @TheNotoriousMMA, it felt so nice, I did it twice ya bumskie."

Poirier's tweets have created waves in the MMA community, with fans and pundits speculating on who his potential opponent could be for this rumored final fight. While no official announcement has been made, the anticipation is growing.

As fans eagerly await further updates from Poirier, it remains to be seen whether he will step back into the octagon for one last hurrah. Should he choose to do so, it will undoubtedly be a momentous occasion for the renowned fighter and his dedicated fanbase.

For now, all eyes are on Dustin Poirier as the MMA world awaits his final decision on retirement and the possibility of witnessing his last fight inside the octagon.
