According to oddsmakers, Dustin Poirier might not be considering retirement just yet. Following President Donald Trump`s recent announcement of plans to host a UFC event on the White House grounds sometime in 2026 as part of the 250-year anniversary celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, speculation is mounting.

Several prominent fighters, including names like Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, have already indicated their interest in competing on such a historic card.
