Top American UFC lightweight fighter Dustin Poirier said he will make a decision on his future career in the coming weeks.
I can't say I'll never fight again, but I just don't know the reason. What am I going to fight for? It has to be for something. And maybe that's something I'll realize in the coming weeks. I'm leaning towards being done. Especially getting the title fight.
