Dustin Poirier Reverses Claim That Saint-Denis Fight At UFC 299 Is Off, Dana White Goes Scorched Earth MMA Media

First, Dustin Poirier was preventing at UFC 299. Then he wasn’t. Now he’s. It’s been a busy Thursday afternoon for ‘The Diamond’ on social media.

Final month, Dana White introduced that Poirier would sq. off with rising light-weight contender Benoit Saint-Denis on March 9 when the promotion returns to Miami one month earlier than its huge landmark occasion in Las Vegas. Struggle followers have been genuinely amped up for the scrap because it represented a contemporary matchup in a division that has seen the highest fighters round-robin one another for the previous few years. Nevertheless, catastrophe seemingly struck when Poirier took to social media writing, “My fights off however nonetheless working.”

Ariel Helwani, host of The MMA Hour, reportedly spoke to Poirier who revealed that “there was no contractual settlement earlier than the combat was introduced and we couldn’t come to phrases.”

The instant query that arose was, why is the UFC asserting fights they’ve but to signal? Fact be instructed, it’s a pretty widespread observe inside the promotion, however it seems that on this occasion, it got here again to chew them on the a**.

Because the occasions continued to unfold, Dana White noticed one other alternative to slam the MMA media by accusing retailers of manufacturing clickbait even if Poirier himself was the one who revealed that the combat was off. He additionally shared a dialog with Saint-Denis’ combat crew confirming particulars of the bout.

Saint-Denis’ acceptance of the combat was by no means in query, so why White selected to share this explicit screenshot is nothing wanting baffling.

Dustin Poirier Reverses Stance, Says Struggle with Saint-Denis is Again On After ‘Misunderstanding’ together with his supervisor

In yet one more twist to the story, Dustin Poirier reversed his place shortly after asserting that the combat was off.

“Sorry of us, I jumped the gun, I couldn’t come up with my supervisor for a number of days,” Poirier wrote on X. “I simply spoke with him and Hunter. Misunderstanding on my half. Struggle is on! See you March ninth Miami!!!”

It didn’t take lengthy for everybody to learn between the strains and see that Poirier was merely “taking part in the sport” by going public to get the deal that he wished out of the stingy UFC again workplace.

“Dustin lastly going public bought him what he wished,” Helwani reported on social media. “That’s the biz. Good on him. Doesn’t change the truth that up till an hour in the past he didn’t agree – keep in mind he broke this story, nobody else – and when this was introduced virtually a month in the past he hadn’t agreed. Nobody is denying that BSD agreed, which his crew has confirmed.”

So it seems that all of this was nothing greater than a sport of cat and mouse between Poirier and the promotion with the MMA media getting used as bait.

Effectively performed, Mr. Poirier. Effectively performed.
