Love has poured out all over Bourbon Street as Dustin Poirier approaches his final fight at UFC 318: Holloway vs Poirier 3. Over the course of more than 14 years, UFC fans have watched Poirier grow from a scrappy 21-year-old to one of the finest fighters to grace the Octagon.
“The Diamond” has nearly done it all in his 31-fight journey. From his 11 knockouts and four submissions (although, despite his best efforts, no successful guillotine chokes) to 10 Fight of the Night bonuses and nearly as many Fight of the Year candidates, the former interim lightweight champion couldn’t help but bring the action each time he made the walk.
