“I’m finished,” said Poirier. “I have 50 years of cage fights. As I said, I have even more to give. There are a lot of opportunities and big fights that can be made, but I have done so long, and I am in a place with my other companies and my family.
“I want to be at home in a regular routine. I gave this sport a lot and I think I gave it enough.
Porrier, perhaps better known for having beaten Conor McGregor, told Jim Rome that no decision had yet been made.
“I always think about it, and I and the UFC, for a few months, have worked on it.
I came to them with the idea that I would like to throw the gloves where I picked them up, in Louisiana.
“The UFC has not been here for 10 or 11 years, so to bring the organization back, bring the UFC back to the state of Louisiana and remove here, it means a lot for me, and I think it could arrive. I think we get closer. Nothing is certain, but this summer is likely, I would say.
“I am in the UFC so long and I did so much with them, I personally thought that when I brought them this idea, because they have not come here for so long, that they would brush it in a way. But they entertained it, and I was so excited when they reminded me and said: “Hey, we are going to get in touch with Louisiana, get in touch with New Orleans and make something move.”
