Last Fight: Submission loss to Islam Makhachev
Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier is everything fight fans love. Grit, power, technique, and heart. He’s a master of boxing in close quarters, with devastating hooks and a killer left hand. And while his submission defense has sometimes been tested, his offensive grappling is still very real.
His last fight—against Islam Makhachev—ended in a fifth-round submission, but it wasn’t without moments. Poirier showed flashes of danger, especially on the feet. But after that loss, he made it clear: the end is near. UFC 318 will be his final fight, and he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.
From Conor McGregor to Justin Gaethje, Dan Hooker to Charles Oliveira, Poirier has stood toe-to-toe with killers. He’s fought for the title multiple times. Now, he fights for legacy, for closure, and for the fans who’ve followed him since Day 1.
