Dustin Poirier opens up about fear & mental health — ‘the unknown scares me’
The UFC’s former interim lightweight champion, Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier, just sat down for an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow and ‘The Diamond’ touched on a number of subjects, both typical and controversial.
Mental toughness, courage, and determination are all qualities that were on display when Poirier rallied to submit Michael Chandler at UFC 281 last November. If you go back and watch the very end of the bout, you can see Dustin walking over to Michael (after he strangled him) to confess that he was in fact ‘scared’ to fight him.
