Discover the take of Dwyane Johnson on the post match speech of Dustin Poirier. 'The Diamond' aimed to recreate his golden performance from the past against Gaethje at UFC 291. However he was defeated in the second round with a nasty head kick by the fighter whom he had called "reckless". After his loss, Poirier gathered his courage and emitted positivity in the face of loss.

In a post fight press conference, defiant Poirier said despite losing the BMF title, ""We're not at a funeral here. I've won. I've won life. I've already won. Where I come from, I've already won... I've lost big fights before and sat here and cried in front of you guys and I'm trying not to do that now."

Further he added,"I put a lot into this. It means a lot to me, but I've got to be able to take it. I dish it out, I've got to take it. It just sucks. I really wanted the belt, that's a legacy fight for my career."

Johnson commented upon the applicability of Poirier's words as life lessons beyond UFC. He tweeted, "Love this perspective so much. Life lessons we can pass on to our little ones. Whatever it is that you sign up for, make sure you absolutely love it because anything can happen ~ and it’s does. Love this dude. Massive respect brother @DustinPoirier". The UFC star Israel Adesanya retweeted Dwyane Johnson's tweet.
