Dustin Poirier looks great in training ahead of UFC retirement fight

UFC star Dustin Poirier looks great in training as he prepares for his final fight in mixed martial arts later this year.

As we know, Dustin Poirier is one of the biggest stars in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He has been in the Octagon with some of the best to ever do it, including the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev. Now, however, he’s preparing for what looks set to be the final fight of his MMA career. We know it’s set to take place in the summer, but an official opponent and date has yet to be announced.

For Poirier, this is all about riding off into the sunset and proving that he’s still an elite competitor. While he may never have touched undisputed gold, he’s come about as close as a person can. He is resilient, he’s incredibly talented, and he’s humble. Hopefully, he gets given an opponent befitting the run that he’s been able to have in the sport’s top promotion.

Of course, part of the process is getting back into training camp. While we don’t know if this is official camp footage, Poirier is definitely back in the gym, and he’s definitely looking like he’s ready to go toe to toe with just about anyone.
