Dustin Poirier put in an impressive showing in his last fight. As a result of beating Dan Hooker, ‘The Diamond’ has ascended a spot in the UFC Lightweight fighter’s rankings.
Now he sits at 2nd and is only behind Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Interim Champion Justin Gaethje.
The fighter is a name to reckon with in the division and completely dominated before falling to ‘The Eagle’ in a title unification bout at UFC 242. As per ‘The Diamond’, the losses have made him stronger and given him the ability to be comfortable in his skin.

However, soon one realizes that the money is coming in and there is a desire to do what needs to be done. ‘The Diamond’ claims to have become what he is due to all these trying experiences and learning curves.
