UFC 269 was a forgettable night for Dustin Poirier, to say the least. For the second time in his noteworthy career, the 32-year-old Lafayette native failed at his bid to a UFC world title by losing in the exact same manner.
Now nearly a week off that night, “The Diamond” remains visibly distraught, and understandably so. But he still appeared on a recent episode of The MMA Hour to share some of his post-fight thoughts.
“Losing sucks, especially title fights. When everything felt good, had a great camp, great weight cut. Losing always sucks, but I feel like maybe underperforming hurts worse than a loss,” Poirier told Ariel Helwani.
