With Dustin Poirier, what you see is what you get. And what we’ve gotten over the past 40 fights is a fighter who wears his heart on his sleeve, always leaves everything in the Octagon, and represents himself, his family, his team and his community with class.
On Saturday night at UFC 318, Poirier will make the final walk of his MMA career as he bids farewell to the sport with one last fight, and it’s taking place in New Orleans, in his home state of Louisiana.
It’s a dream scenario for a fighter looking to bring their professional career to a close, and it’s one that Poirier admits has come at the perfect time.
