Former UFC Interim Lightweight Champion Dustin Poirier is back in the combat sports spotlight once again. This time, however, it's for a unique reason, with the help of UFC Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer and one of the promotion's lead sponsers, Bud Light. Following Poirier's retirement fight at UFC 318 in July in New Orleans, Poirier has started to focus on life after fighting, which includes desk panel appearances for the UFC during pay-per-views as a lead personality on ESPN platforms, among other ventures. The Bud Light partnership, however, may be one of the most unique the UFC has ever done. According to a press release, the "Call Center" will allow a fan and a guest to attend UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Nov 15 in usage of PTO and, of course, Bud Light consumption. "Bud Light has always been in my corner, and, now that I’m retired, it’s exciting to join the brand in making fight nights even more epic for fans and their crew," Poirier said in a statement. "I never thought my next job would be at a call center, but it’s sure been fun celebrating and giving back to the UFC fans who supported me throughout my career.” Bruce Buffer Praises Bud Light Partnership Ahead Of UFC 322
