On my way: UFC star Dustin Poirier teases move to WWE

UFC star Dustin Poirier could be on his way to the WWE. The former UFC Interim Lightweight champion noted the same on Twitter and said that he is ‘On his way’ to the professional wrestling promotion.

“A fan's questions: When will you join WWE?” a fan asked Dustin on Twitter recently.

To this, Poirier replied.

“On my way”

Poirier has not fought in the UFC since his loss to Charles Oliveira back in December 2021. Prior to this, he was on a three-fight winning streak with two wins over former UFC double champion Conor McGregor and Dan Hooker.

He currently holds a professional MMA record of 28-7 to his name and has only lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira since 2017.
