Dustin Poirier misses fighting as much as fans miss him.

Poirier’s legendary career came to an end with a unanimous decision loss against Max Holloway at UFC 318 in July, after which he retired with a 30-10 record. In a post on X on Saturday, “The Diamond” was asked how much he misses fighting. Poirier replied, “Everyday, the moment my eyes open, I've done it for two decades dedicated my life to it.... A part of me has died”
