    "Where I come from, Ive already won". This is absolutely true, Poirier really came from nothing, just an average everyday kid from south Louisiana that saw the early UFCs and wanted to do that. He made his dream come true. He really is just a normal dude, a normal dude that focused on a goal, made it happen, and is now world famous and a multi millionaire. Great interview.
