Reasons why Dustin Poirier is still the GOAT:
1. Obviously given the diamond n-word pass (infinite uses)
2. Everyone wants to fight TSA.. Dustin is the only one with a big enough sack to do it
3. He is going to fight Conor McGregor in September 2027 - this was the first part of selling the fight
4. Just so much fucking aura

Dricus du Plessis on how he’s going to beat Khamzat:
“How do you prepare for me, I don’t even know what I’m going to do… it could be DDP by accident, DDP by falling piano…
Everyone says on paper Khamzat beats me. How do I know? I can’t even read.” 😭

You may never witness another five minutes like this in MMA history. Every second of it—earned.
These five minutes of Dustin Poirier walking out of the cage one final time, to a Louisiana crowd that hadn’t moved, surrounded by family, fellow fighters, pro athletes, executives, and others waiting to congratulate him—were earned with blood, heartbreak, grit, and an unbreakable will.
This wasn’t just a retirement. It was a celebration of a man who gave everything to this sport of MMA.
Every ounce of himself. Every piece of his soul.
He never chose the easy path. He walked through fire every time.
Wins or losses—Dustin Poirier always showed up.
Always real. Always game. Always himself.
He leaves behind a legacy bigger than belts.
He leaves as the epitome of what it means to be a fighter.
Respect isn’t given in this sport. It’s earned.
And Dustin Poirier earned every second of it.
Few retirements in MMA leave behind a scene like this.
A moment where time stood still, and the sport gave its thanks.
Respect 🫡
The last of a dying breed. Dustin Poirier may never have touched undisputed gold, but he earned something far more meaningful: the respect of everyone who’s ever stepped into the cage. He’ll be remembered not just for the wars, but as a father, a husband, and a man who gave back to the world. Diamonds are forever.
On behalf of the entire fighting world thank you, Dustin. ❤️
