Israel Adesanya says Dustin Poirier should be considered a UFC champion 🤝

"He is a champion, no matter what. He's got a belt at his house, at his gym, sitting there to represent him as a champion at one point. 

People who try to say 'you never became the undisputed'. No, when you're the interim champion you're the f***ing champion.

You'd be blessed to have half the career that Dustin's had in the UFC."
