Dustin Poirier has gone through many changes following his quick loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 178 on Sept. 27, 2014.
Poirier (26-6 1 NC) caught up with ESPN following his Fight of the Year candidate against Dan Hooker at UFC Vegas 4. “The Diamond” emerged victorious in the violent clash with Hooker, to extend his post-McGregor run to 10-2 with one no contest.
“It definitely started happening after the Conor McGregor loss,” Poirier told ESPN about his evolution as a fighter and person (h/t MMA Fighting).
