Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier was recently announced as an analyst for the upcoming pay-per-view event, UFC 319. The former interim Lightweight Champion is a fan favorite both inside and outside the cage. He has won the hearts of many through his Good Fight Foundation, which provides essential groceries for families, assists with school supplies, and helps build playgrounds for children with disabilities.
Poirier’s analyst assignment comes less than a month after his bittersweet retirement fight against Max “Blessed” Holloway at UFC 318. Though the result was a loss in his hometown, it was still considered one of the most heartfelt and honorable retirements the UFC has ever given a fighter.
