Dustin Poirier will retire from mixed martial arts after facing Max Holloway at UFC 318. At 36 years old and currently ranked No. 5 among lightweights, Poirier emphasizes the importance of long-term health over continuing his career. Despite his fears about life post-fighting, he expresses that this is the right time to step away. Poirier's career, which includes significant victories over notable fighters, serves as an inspiration to others pursuing their dreams and showcases the potential for success through dedication.
I've been fighting my entire life, but I think it's a beautiful time to walk away. It's scary. I really don't know what life is going to look like without it.
I hope [my career] made someone realize no matter where you are or what is stacked against you, if you chase your dreams, commit yourself to something and stay dedicated, you can make miracles happen.
