      Hearing this makes me think he knows it's time to retire but isn't sure how to walk away. He has a beautiful family, solid brand and overwhelming favor with the public. If he focused 100% on his business empire he could for sure reach McGregor levels with his hot sauce and everything else. All of his fans would give anything with his name on it a chance

      Not just Dustin but literally everyone that comes on! Theo has a way of disarming his guests with his zero-ego and it breaks down walls that are normally pretty well built up in these guys. And bc they're so comfortable and not worried about playing the mental battle games, we get to see that exposed underbelly and it makes for great conversation every time!

    Poirier has been responsible for some of the best fights I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of his style. Huge power and great boxing skills, good ground game, great cardio and a heart of a champion. Most importantly, I feel like he's one of the only true Christian fighters and walks the walk in and out of the cage. In a backwards world where it's cool to be morally depraved and cocky, Dustin is a stone.

Wanting to be the best at what u do is shallow within itself and it's more so about giving back to whats given him such a great, plentiful life, which he VERY much so does! I mean EVERY fight has been an absolute war and he's a staple of modern ufc. A legend in his own right, which is more than what most fighters get to say.

    Poirier is the true champ! Even when he leaves UFC he'll be remembered longer than some belt holders will.

    For real Poirier got jokes 4:46 "he was a good man" "I am right here bro!" 😁

    Dustin reminds me of the old Samurai way of life and exsistance in Japan, they only really lived when they fought,normal life was boring and mundane to them,sadly death was their only release. I think looking at Dustin here In this interview he looks edgy, nervous and very alert,maybe too alert,I hope he is ok mentally.
