Rapper Lil Wayne receives an unusual request from Dustin Portier ahead of his UFC concluding bout.
Go catch that bonus, Diamond
On the night of July 20, UFC veteran Dustin Poirier is set to throw his final punch. The BMF title fight against Max Holloway will be the main event of UFC 318. In a recent chat on Ariel Helwani's show, "The Diamond" spilled the beans about his walkout tune preferences for his swan song:
"In my debut UFC fight against Josh Grispi, I rolled out to a Lil Wayne track. If he's down to rock the house at my fight in New Orleans, I'd be stoked to strut out to his tune."
He added, "If he grooves to Drop the World, I'll swagger out to it for the grand finale." As of now, the rapper hasn't made a peep about the fighter's proposition. Given that the artist hails from Louisiana, there's a chance he might accept the invite.
