Dustin Poirier’s resume holds up quite well when compared to his contemporaries, and at just 31 years of age, he has time to build a more complete legacy.
Poirier touched down in World Extreme Cagefighting in August 2010 and migrated to the Ultimate Fighting Championship a little more than four months later, enjoying success in multiple weight classes before settling in as one of the sport’s premier lightweights. “The Diamond” has delivered 19 of his 25 professional victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission, 12 of them inside one round. Operating out of American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, Poirier’s consistency jumps off the page: In a career that now spans 32 fights, he has never suffered back-to-back defeats.
