Dustin Poirier on His UFC Career

When people talk about the best lightweight fighters in the UFC, they surely will include ‘The Diamond’ on the list. He has a professional fighting record of 28-6, with 21 finishes (fifteen T/KO, and six submissions).

The one accolade missing from his list is that of a UFC champion. Hence, many believed that he might retire from professional fighting if he realizes that dream.

However, in an interview with Michael Bisping, Poirier revealed what he will do next if becomes the champion at UFC 269. He said, “I see a lot of fighters trying to get every last drop out of their career and leave a lot of themselves out there and I don’t wanna do that.” 

“I’ve been fighting a long time. I had my first fight at 18 years old. So, I don’t think I am going anywhere, I think I might fight less frequently. I just love fighting, and it’s who I am. I think win, lose or draw, Saturday night. I’m not going to fight three times a year moving forward.”
