Dustin Poirier is a dangerous man.

He is the only fighter to have stopped reigning featherweight champion Max Holloway in the Octagon, and ‘The Diamond’ believes he can do it again when he faces ‘Blessed’ for the interim lightweight championship at UFC 236.

Speaking to MMAjunkie Radio ahead of next month’s highly anticipated PPV, Poirier, who submitted Holloway with a mounted triangle armbar back in 2012, said all it takes is for Holloway to make one mistake for him to capitalize with the perfect fight-finishing sequence.

Dustin is a beast. He knows the pain of a loss and I think he's ready. The trouble is Max is a beast too. Good fight

I had a dream in which Dustin won, so I will of course put a bet on that.

Everything I dream has come true so far

Porier is 8-1-1 in his last 10. His last three fights were stoppage wins over three fomer champions. How is that run not worthy of a title shot?
