Perfect ending scenario. Yeah, he lost, but he wasn’t outclassed — and he hurt Max. Max just pulled off an incredible performance. I absolutely loved the diversity in his striking, especially those kicks.

Wishing nothing but the best for Poirier. A true gentleman in every sense of the word — inside and outside the cage.

What’s your favorite Dustin Poirier moment?

Mine was his fight with Hooker. Just pure insanity and heart display.
 
I'd probably say the 2nd Alvarez fight. I always thought Poirier had a glassy chin after he got rocked by Akira Corassani and frequently picked against him (even successfully getting the Michael Johnson upset right) but he kept proving me wrong and I think the Gaethje win and the second Alvarez fight really cemented him as a great fighter and not just a good fighter.

For all of the talk of underachievers in sports, I think Dustin is one of the biggest overachievers. He had a hell of a run for someone who really never had much hype around him and he has a great body of work to look back on. Here's hoping his retirement sticks and he finds something else fulfilling to do in his life
