Dustin Poirier found out his wife is pregnant with their first child a week prior to UFC 195

Going into his Lightweight bout against Joseph Duffy at last night's (Sat., Jan. 2, 2016) UFC 195 pay-per-view (PPV) event, Dustin Poirier had a little extra motivation, as he found out a week ago that he and his wife are expecting their first child.

That's why "The Diamond" was a bit more pumped during the fight, as he relayed to FOX Sports.

"Honestly, man, I just found out my wife's pregnant. It's going to be my first child. I found out not too long ago, a week ago. So, it kind of put things in perspective already for me.
