Charles Oliveira may no longer be the UFC lightweight champion but everyone in the division still treats him as such. Dustin Poirier recently spoke out on the weird situation that caused him to lose his belt.

Dustin Poirier recently fought Charles Oliveira back at UFC 269 where the Brazilian won by submission in the third round. Poirier gave his take on the weight issues that caused him to lose his title.

“We need to be on digital scales so there’s no grey area,” Poirier said on “THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas.” “You can’t have a guy there tapping a weight-balance scale and it’s kind of balancing, and he just says it’s a half-pound or whatever. We need exact numbers. You get on a digital scale, it shows up on the screen, that’s your actual weight. I don’t like the fact that these guys are tapping this balance scale.”

Dustin Poirier also went on to talk about whether he felt Charles Oliveira could make weight at UFC 274. The situation was very strange as the Brazilian was given the opportunity to take more time to cut weight and he chose not to.

“They weren’t carrying him out. He wasn’t stumbling around,” Poirier said about the Brazilian trying to make weight. “He’s always really lean, and he’s long and tall, so he looks slim. He’s a big guy, but he didn’t look like he needed to be helped. He still had life in his body. He could have, it looked like, tried to lose more weight. It’s a championship fight.”
