According to oddsmakers, Dustin Poirier might not be contemplating retirement anytime soon.
President Donald Trump recently revealed plans to hold a UFC event at the White House in 2026, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence signing. Given the close relationship between Trump and UFC CEO Dana White, the possibility of this event happening is significant. While several prominent fighters, such as Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, have expressed interest, oddsmakers currently favor fighters headlining the upcoming UFC pay-per-view event.
BetOnline.ag has released initial betting odds for potential headliners of the 2026 White House event. Dustin Poirier is the current favorite at +250 odds, followed by Max Holloway at +300 and Sean O’Malley completing the top three at +400.
