Earlier this year, in July at UFC 318, Dustin Poirier officially brought an end to his remarkable 14-year career inside the Octagon after completing his trilogy with Max Holloway in front of his home crowd. Although ‘The Diamond’ closed his career with a loss, his legacy remains one of the most impressive in UFC history. Beyond his near miss with undisputed gold, Poirier built a resume stacked with victories over icons like Conor McGregor, Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje, and Dan Hooker.
But more than his wins, what truly defined the Louisiana native was his relentless grit and willingness to leave everything in the cage.
