Former interim champion Dustin Poirier recently appeared on Ariel Helwani’s show to talk about his previous fight. Speaking on the show, Dustin Poirier revealed that he doesn’t follow the WWE. When asked by Helwani if he knew who Roman Reigns is, he responded saying, “No, I do not.” Further, when asked if he follows the WWE, he said, “I don’t, man; I don’t, guilty.”

Poirier also shared his thoughts on fighter pay and whether the UFC compensates him fairly. He said, “My last fight, I believe, has been the closest to proper compensation, for just the years that I’ve put in and what I’ve done. I’m on the right track, Ariel, I’m moving in the right direction.”

Poirier further said, “You know I’ve put myself in a good spot for me and my family and at the end of the day I am a fighter, but I want everyone to know I am a provider and I have a wife and a daughter I come home to every day.”

Poirier has earned his keep the hard way, with 27 fights in the UFC. The ‘Diamond’ climbed up the ranks and has faced and defeated some of the toughest fighters the UFC has to offer.

Throughout his long journey to the top, Poirier has learnt many important lessons. Elaborating on that he said, “As you fight, things change in your life priorities change and I’m just trying to set my family up, set myself up for the best life possible through fighting and through business opportunities and I think I’m heading in the right direction you know.”

And I’m not in like horrible shape. I can fight at 170. It just depends on the scenario, I guess.”
