Dustin Poirier says he's only interested in taking fights that will help him get closer to a title shot -- and a rematch with Conor McGregor wouldn't help his cause.
In fact, Dustin is currently the #3 ranked UFC lightweight fighter -- with Conor behind him at #4.on Saturday will get him closer to a title shot ... but he might need one more victory to seal the deal.
So, we asked if he'd be interested in McGregor after Hooker -- but Dustin says it just doesn't make sense. "I mean I'd love to for the financial part of it but I'm not chasing grudge matches at this point in my life," Poirier says.Plus, as Dustin pointed out ...As for Dan Hooker -- who's on a 3-fight win streak -- Dustin says the key to victory is patience.
"It's a 5 round fight -- so pick my shots and wait for the big shot to be there. Don't force anything. I just need to be myself."
