UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier hasn’t spoken with matchmakers following his second-round TKO win over Eddie Alvarez at UFC on FOX 30. But they need not wonder where he stands on his future.

“They already know what I’m going to say: If it’s not a title fight, I’m not answering the phone,” Poirier (24-5 MMA, 16-4 UFC) told MMAjunkie Radio after stopping Alvarez (29-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in past Saturday’s network-televised main event at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Poirier is targeting the winner of an expected title fight between UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) and ex-champ Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC). The highly anticipated bout is expected to take place in October or November, though the UFC has yet to make anything official.

After back-to-back fight camps, Poirier, who’s No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, is in no hurry to jump back into the gym, so the timeline works well for him.

“I’m just trying to enjoy my life and my family now,” he said. “I started this camp injured from my (Justin) Gaethje fight. I’m not in a big rush. They’ll call me when they’re ready.”

There’s a small asterisk to Poirier’s demand for a title fight, and it has everything to do with the opponent and money on the line. A fight with ex-interim champ Tony Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) isn’t off limits, but it has to have the right “fine print” attached to it.

Ferguson is on the comeback trail after winning the interim UFC lightweight championship this past October, only to see it stripped by the promotion after an injury forced him out of a title-unifier against Nurmagomedov at UFC 223.

“It’s really up to them for an offer,” Poirier said. “It has to make sense. … Money talks.”

In March Poirier inked a new deal that contained “championship language,” which he said has “a plan figured out for when I win the belt.” Presumably, that includes a pay bump and an opportunity to earn pay-per-view points.

Poirier’s fight with Gaethje was the second bout under his new deal. In a perfect world, the third would be the one that puts the belt around his waist – or at least puts a large wad of cash in his pocket.

“The best-case scenario would be Conor and Khabib fight, and I fight the winner at the beginning of next year,” he said.
