Next weekend Dustin Poirier enters the cage for the 35th time. Of his previous bouts, the Louisianan has won 27 of them with 20 of those bouts coming via stoppage.
The vast majority of ‘Diamond’’s competition has come inside the storied UFC Octagon. He joined the UFC, via the WEC talent pipeline, in 2011. Since then he has built a reputation for exciting—and violent—contests.
His path, filled with brawls and KOs, lead him to a UFC lightweight title bout in 2019. However, he would fall short of claiming that UFC gold due to a third round submission at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov.
