Dustin Poirier has been a staple of the UFC nearly a decade now, and in that time, fans have seen him evolve from a fun action-fighting featherweight to one of the very best lightweights in the world. This past weekend, Poirier cemented that status by winning a unanimous decision over Dan Hooker in a five-round war that is among the best fights of the year. And in the aftermath of that fight, “The Diamond” credits his loss to Conor McGregor for helping to kickstart his improvement and getting him to where he is today.
