Dustin Poirier speaks with ESPN MMA’s Ariel Helwani about how he’s feeling after his 5-round battle vs. Dan Hooker at #UFCVegas4. “The Diamond” says he loved fighting in an empty arena and would be fine doing that the rest of his career. Poirier also (15:27) reacts to the comments Khabib Nurmagomedov made after the fight and how after his 2014 loss to Conor McGregor he changed his perspective, which made him happy and stronger overall.

i used this as a comment to someone but decided to chare with all, Dustin is definitely one of the greatest fighters just for his record, the opponents he's faced, his weight class, and the era of his weight class with all the best of the best fighting at the same time in that weight class. any of the top 10 in the light weight division in this era are one of the greatest fighters of all time for mma. prove me wrong.
