NEW ORLEANS – Dustin Poirier was in search of a career-defining homecoming, and he got it.
Fighting in front of his home crowd in his native Louisiana, Poirier (18-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) tore right through a tough Yancy Medeiros (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) for a first-round TKO in front of many family members and friends. Then he called for a big fight and said he plans on fighting for the lightweight title before the year is out.
Check out the video highlights of the bout from UFC Fight Night 68, which aired on FOX Sports 1 from Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
