Dustin Poirier might be shaving in the morning, staring blankly into the mirror. And He's thinking about MMA.
Like Gaethje, Poirier is eager to fight for a belt that was only up for grabs once, between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz in 2019. It is, Poirier said, just as Gaethje did, a legacy fight.
But he's 34 now, owns multiple businesses, is heavily invested in his charitable foundation and is the father of a young girl. The priorities are different now than they were when he came up a young, raw and eager fighter. There's a reason so many coaches across multiple sports say that offense wins games but defense wins championships. A knockout loss to Michael Johnson in 2016 in which he lasted just 95 seconds clarified for him that he needed to expand his game.
"So I've tried to make those subtle improvements and not change the essence of who I am or how I approach this, but at the same time knowing it's a smart thing to do in terms of winning as well as helping to extend my career."
