UFC Quick Quote: Dustin Poirier is never going back down to featherweight

"There's no comparison. I'm still eating good, my body's recovering because of that. I'm having fun throughout camp. I don't feel like I'm too depleted or strained. Previously, if I was this close to a fight I'd be hurting already cutting weight. I feel great. I'm more athletic at this weight and this is much closer to my actual weight. My body is just performing very well. I should have been here, this is the optimal weight class for my body to perform at its max. My power, my speed, everything feels better. I'm never going to go down to 145 again.
