THE UFC handed out a sex hotline to journalists who were trying to interview Dustin Poirier.
Reporters were expecting to call in for a UFC 242 conference call ahead of Poirier’s Lightweight Championship fight with Conor McGregor’s foe Khabib Nurmagomedov.
But members of the media were shocked when they rang the number and were greeted by an erotic message.
Updated details were eventually sent through by the UFC but it was too late to save their blushes.
Once reporters got the chance to speak to Poirier, he was clear who he wanted his next opponent to be if he beats Khabib next week.
He said: “One hundred per cent it’s Tony Ferguson without a second guess.
“Without any argument, it’s Tony Ferguson.
“No doubt.
“But I don’t think about that type of stuff because 25 minutes with Khabib is all I can focus on right now.
“I can’t disrespect the work that needs to be done.”
Poirier and Khabib clash on September 7 in Abu Dhabi.
