Duke Roufus has claimed that his pupil, Anthony Pettis, will face Dustin Poirier at UFC Fight Night Norfolk
It appears that Pettis may have got his wish.
Poirier had expressed his desire to face the former UFC lightweight champion in an interview with BJ Penn recently:
“You know I was hoping for a top-five opponent,” Poirier said. “But if I can’t get that, then Anthony Pettis is a former champion in both WEC and UFC. The guy is a big name in the sport, so that would be a good fight as well.”
